Hi all,
First timer. Restoring a 1979 SC 3.0 CIS top to bottom.
Diligently followed Wayne's book on the engine rebuild. After the initial 20 minute engine break in (still can't believe it started!), I tried to get the engine to hold idle and I can't. With a helper's foot on the gas I was able to get the timing correct at 950, and the mixture seems good. But even after turning the large idle all the way in, it just dies out.
All new vac lines, rebuild WUR, rebuilt Fuel Distrib, new injectors etc, new MSD ignition and coil.
On rebuild I deleted cruise control and EGR Valve, and added SSI's, everything else basically stock.
It's a home garage with limited (as in none) testing equipment, but I was hoping you guys can give me some pointers on common causes I can check out.
Thank you!
Marc
