Please see diagram![]() Just figured out today that the vacuum link to advance was wrong - the 12 to 3 to Distributor vacuum advance on dist was actually linked to the vacuum on the Y shape splitter, which sits behind the intake manifold. That would explain a knockback effect when releasing acceleration pedal and loss of power above 3000rpm If I'm gonna keep the car... need to learn it as mechanics are scarce that know this car, most have passed or retired. 1985 M102.962 87kW 118bhp So any clues as to how to adjust mixture on this one would be great, as during the head gasket lots has changed, like the car running poorly... No indications for mixture adjustment...(Duty Cycle cannot be read on the test socket).. |
