Hard Core 4+
I got home tonight, cracked open a beer, leaned on the fender and stared at the lump awhile wondering where its sucking air.. Found it I think: PCV system. Hard line connects on the block below the exhaust manifold. As I was checking the hoses and the pcv valve I found the hard line was loose/broken... base of carb was sucking a lot of air.
Ran much better with it plugged. But, still missing and needs a bit of choke...
Connected alternator after checking voltage. Seems to be working. The wiring was a confusing mess but figured it out. Someone had spliced in incorrect colored wire pieces, so it was throwing me off as I compared it to diagrams.
WR spliced to WB and W spliced to WR... all wrapped in electrical tape, looked like oem harness!
Planning to do leak down test this weekend and dig deeper into distributor and hopefully sort out idle.
