74 2.0 D-Jet
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. |

Ok, Zach - you're right. Too much idle time and letting my brain drift to worst-case-scenario....thanks!

Ok, Zach - you're right. Too much idle time and letting my brain drift to worst-case-scenario....thanks! The whole point about the Anders site for troubleshooting a D-jet injection system is making sure or put another way, "confidence" that ALL mechanical systems are correct first, or put together correctly and the parts associated with the D-jet system for the model year and displacement are working and correct for that displacement. Had the OP of that thread simply pulled the valve covers off to make sure the valve lash was to spec....he wouldn't have wasted his time trying to set the timing. Besides the fact that the dizzy doesn't look like a stock distributor or has been altered. See point No. 2. Confidence in what one is doing is also very relevant if not essential to troubleshooting. Mostly confidence is bolstered by experience. My greatest learning experiences have been by doing and making mistakes. |
