Ok Mike, will scan the procedure for you. It came out in a HotVW’s annual. Will take me a day or two if that’s ok with you, now that it’s busy Xmas time! Court

Get a vacuum advance dizzy, and all the troubles will be gone. Do a search for this and you'll see it's a real problem. Go to aircooled.net and there is a good article on it. I have the proper setup specs to tune the 34pict if you need them. They are a bitch to set up properly, but after that they are good. Courtney ========I'm thankful to all those who said "no".

The car had just been serviced bya local shop to pass our local emissions testing(Aircare or as I like to call it airscare!). Soon after she purchased it it started suffering some running issues. It has a replacement Empi 34 pict 3 I believe and what appears to be a 009 Distributor(What I remember from my last 1600dp. Mind you I haven't played with one since about 2006...) Anyways the issues that were going on it was stalling when it was cold. It would fire up fine and she would take off and as soon as she would return to idle it would stall. Which sounds like a total carb icing issue. To address that it got a new intake manifold and a new muffler. Which didn't fix it. Also it started developing a backfire through the carb on shut down. And hard to start when warm..... also a intermittant misfire mid range in the revs. The disty cap is nearly new. Rotor looks okay.. Certainly not new a bit grungy but not totally burned .. Its had plugs, wires.... etc. When I was looking at the aircare sheet . The hydrocarbons were high, and I'm certain its running rich. My gut feeling on this one is that the carb is way out of adjustment and that the timing is way out to lunch. I checked it for exhaust leaks and none were apparent... Any thoughts? Its been a long time since I played with this stuff.... And well my next venture is with a stroker so thats bound to be entertaining..
