Hi folks,
The biggest problem with Marty ('87 5th) is it idles really rough. Right now I'm checking for vacuum leaks. I've been disconnecting and plugging one line at a time hoping I'd find one that made the idle smooth out. The weird thing is that there are three hoses leading to the fuel vapor can, two big hoses and one small hose. There is no noticeable vacuum in either of the big hoses. There is vacuum in the small hose. When I say no vacuum I mean I take the hose off the carb, plug the hole at the carb with my finger and feel nothing. That seems wrong. Shouldn't at least one of those two big hoses really, um, suck?
Marty has a Holley 6280 2 bbl with all the electric controls. I can't remove or simplify anything because this is California and cars only 33 years old aren't smog exempt.
Thanks,
