If you have a throttle body with ONE hose nipple then the vacuum line goes to the retard side of the advance mechanism or side closest to the cap. If you have TWO hose nipples then check to see which one has a vacuum at idle and hook it to the retard side and the other one to the advance side. On our 1974 it originally had two hoses as many do but ONE nipple and the advance hose just was laying on the intake plenum. In the "old days" this would give the smog check people fits but was factory.
You can and probably should open the bypass screw a little and the idle will come up, it does NOT need to be closed. |

Sounds like your on track. Here is a hose diagram. Take the AAR out and test it. i just noticed a difference in diagram from PP site. the middle hose from the decel valve is shown hooked up in different places. on pp it goes to the air cleaner and the one rick showed it goes under throttle body. the back hose on pp goes under the throttle body and the one rick shows it goes to the air cleaner box. which is right? |

I'm no expert but maybe those are two different year diagrams. PM Jeff I bet he'll know. Or there are any number of guys on here that live and breath the details. Just a matter of having the right guy check the thread. I bet Clay would know too. Oh, and Ed or ron or the capt.... or...

I don't think the difference means anything. The top is the sensor port. On high vacuum it just opens a shunt allowing more air from the air filter into the plenum. Shouldn't matter which way the bottom 2 go.
I agree with you. Vacuum leaks cause high revs not low. Have you tried th air bypass screw to bring up the revs? The stumble on accel might be the advance. Have you checked to see if it si working? |
