Heading to the garage now to start the install and my main, unresolved-in-my-brain question is if i need to hook up the vacuum line that is on my current stock distributor, on the 123. |

Latest update.
ok. it runs. correctly - no fighting itself anymore. So - i'm in business - but... Very low idle and I can't get a steady throttle response. Process was: remove 123, confirm TDC, install old dizzy for alignment confirmation/location of coil/plug 1, remove old dizzy, install 123, green LED test, connect black coil wire, load flat 10 degree curve, start. At this point, it started and sounds like it's firing in the correct order and responds to a pull on the throttle cable but idle is very low - no matter the position of the idle screw. Could it be yellow and white connections are reversed? I have the yellow on the left when looking into connection with the "hump" on top. EDIT: i just reversed those and it does seem to run better. shrugs. I think what would really help is if I could raise the idle but I get nothing from the idle screw. Best I've gotten is by loading this curve (lookin' at you, @iankarr - it's modified from what you posted!): TLDR: idle is too low no matter what. - quick video of the idle. https://vimeo.com/895594723/f01e410a2e?share=copy |
