I checked the throttle cable and I can see it is not wrapped.

All the linkage seems fine, and I have the idle screws all the way out.

I am even running an extra spring on the throttle bar to ensure that I get full return.

Nothing seems to be binding.

I am running an old original distributor with the injection point set removed, and the vacum advance disabled.

Am I wasting time chasing throttle cable functions or is it just the stinking distributor?
