The “timing belt” issue is the alternator water pump belt. Just stopped at the
auto parts store and got one, $16. Guy at the counter used to work for the
stealer down the road, says he’s rebuilt a coupla these engines. Got his name
and number.
She ran the battery down and it quit, also probably overheated, don’t know how
bad. Noticed a little water bubbling from the head gasket on pass side. Car
starts and runs and drives fine, a little cranky on cold start and yeah seems
to idle a bit high. Everything very clean though. Has some kind of weird hot
rod air filter on it, will need to source a proper filter setup.
I’ll get pics when I get home.

77 is probably K-Jet or KE-Jet (my 75 Audi Fox was K-Jet).
Couple funky idle drop down servos and lots of hoses -- all of which have to be
completely sealed for it to run right. KE-Jet has a "frequency valve" to
control the mixture in the double chamber fuel distributor, and they can be a pain.
Essentially a modified fuel injector.
Once you get it all sorted out, it's great. Only trouble I had with my Fox in
the fuel system was a bad injector causing lumpy idle and the fact that blowby
would freeze in the venturi and flood it out in bitter cold weather. It was
disconnected when I got it, and stayed that way after I figured that out. Had
a fuel pump fail, otherwise very trouble free.
