Deceleration Valve Options

[Ian Stott]

This is a very difficult to get item to get! Many have said soaking the existing one in kerosene for a few days will do the trick, have not done that yet as I am still trying to track down a new one. Wondering what the success rate has been with soaking it in kerosene, also wondering would WD 40 do the same thing. Would hate to ruin the one I have, which is original to the car!

the EGR on the 75 (calif) works off the vac port before the throttle plate on the throttle body when its all hosed up proper stock.

one of those weird things i discovered on the EC-A, EC-B research.

same port worked advance on the distributor of the EC-B 74 engines.

the decel on the 75s still works the same way as it did on the 74s.
off manifold vac.
but its a beefier unit for sure.
maybe letting in even more air on decel than the 74s?

Yeah I saw the T on the parts diagram and rather than try and figure out what was going on there, I was just glad I got a ‘74. I’ll be honest, I knew I wanted a 1.8L L-Jet when I was shopping, but I had no idea how much junk was on a ‘75 model.
I learned to drive in a ‘75 1.8, but all the 75’s I ran across in my search were either 2.0, carb’d, or both.

as it turns out we know we got the best one. the EC-B. least crippled. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif)

maybe you learned on a 49 state 75. nearly as pure as an EC-B. just didn't have the advance on the distributor connected.

i'd like to have sympathy for californians. they get experimented on.
but its their own fault? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stirthepot.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
