ok first warm day in Boston
- battery charged (yay)
- car started eventually and I drove out of garage
- runs rough. vacuum lines disconnected. questionable desmogging
- carb bowl vent connected to tank vent
- missing gulp valve, just cut off and plugged with ab olt on the hose
- Disconnected charcoal canister
- vacuum to dizzy disconnected (might have retard) it is not the original distributor (opus). the 76 should have a big old box on the dizzy. a black box (lucas) mounted to the fender wired to both sides of the coil. figure it out later
- leaks fuel, a lot. may have a stuck float, or a stuck ??? thing the float uses to close the fuel port
- mechanical fuel pump
- bad connection to the fuel port on the carb cut shorter and reclamped / fixed, but i got new hose
is there an easy way to see if the float or pintle (?) if i disconnect the coil and crank with the bowl vent tube in a bottle will it fill with fuel.
