had it running most of the day trying to get it running right, but..........yeh there are alot of these with this build....


can't get the car to idle under about 2500 rpm, adjusted inside the comp, all seems right there, adjusted the idle control thingy next to the TB. all seems as it should be running at normal idle????

occasionally i would get it to run around 1500 but only for about 5 seconds.....

why is it doing this? is there a common reason?


im out of fuel it was running that much so tomorra morning hopefully i can get some help with this lil issue and fill up and get her on the road for a lil street creep[:x)][88]

cheers

It's sounds like mine when they first got it running. Sooo rich it was drowning the plugs below 2000 revs and stalling.

Yeh I think Tacho wire would connect to (-) on coil when running points setup. But check the MS diagram to be forsure first. Think it changed for elect distributor.

On my rebuild thread alot of people said my car should idle at and below 1000revs with the RL32 and a TPS setup. But as was explained to me, the TPS is not the problem it's the duration of the cam that is so much that the car makes almost no vacuum at 1000 revs. So the car is not sucking in any air and it floods and stalls. But I may be completely wrong. I do know the cam rocks the car around something shocking at 1200 revs.
