ArdWrknTrk Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Give us the whole sticker There should be a bold alpha numeric calibration code on there. Oh your diagram does show a three port valve with one side having the little plastic vacuum restriction. So, everything seems normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArdWrknTrk Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 What are the odds that I could find a vehicle which has spend 34 years on So. Cal. would be non-cat? Anything over 8,500 GVWR NON-CATALYST until 1988. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArdWrknTrk Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Throttle kicker solenoid.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArdWrknTrk Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Throttle kicker solenoid.. You've already disabled the EGR and A.I.R. systems. You have vacuum advance and a vacuum delay valve for the throttle kicker. Plus the air cleaner temperature compensator. What's left??? Go have a look at the mess Bill and I had to deal with.

You said you 'think you have some redundancy in the system.' Uh, no. There was no redundancy when it rolled off the line. If you could explain what you're trying to accomplish we can help, but none of that removal is going to fly in Cali. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought mine had no charcoal can or other junk because it was born on the east coast. I didnt consider the weight class. Ok, so to be clear about the temp vac regulator, what should be full carb manifold in, and what should be out or capped? Should I test this? I got a vac guage from H.F. to adjust the carb, 14 bucks!

Manifold vacuum is going to be dependent on how worn your engine is and how well it is tuned. You will see the same vacuum through the restriction. It just builds and falls more slowly. The same with the throttle dashpot (kicker) It's there to help moderate engine reaction speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And wow, looks like the vac routing is fine, I just need to clean the mess up a bit. Thanks all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
