Re: Some progress at last....

I'll keep the filter in place. No sign of anything but it a good precaution as you say. When the rebuilt original carb goes in, we'll see for sure if anything is there that shouldn't be. Was pretty...

Re: Need a new 1982 T/A w/CFI evaporative (charcoal) canister

I've been hunting for one for my '84 LG4 - same thing, out of stock. I think they're discontinued.

Maybe one off a different car but same or similar dimensions would work though.

Re: Timing

To try and decrease the fouling I'm getting on the current ones due to the rich condition I seem to have.

It's all stock so may as well run the equivalent stock plug (R45TSX won't clear headers).

I did not touch anything at the distributor as there is no vacuum advance. Are you referring to the ECM connector?
