I've taken a few apart before turning them in for core.
One guy told me that they used thinned laquer (How do you spell that?)
But that might just be an old mechanic's wife's tale.

I had 3 of them partially apart and took some pictures.
They were: 79 USA, 81-83 USA and 82-83 ROW
This was just after finially finding the ROW FD to get my CIS sorted out.
That one I didn't seperate, but did look at the plunger. They were definately different.

I think besides the plungers, the little disks (With holes in them) are different amoung models.

On the top of the FD there are 6 little caps next to each outlet fitting.
Below those caps are screws which (I think, but I really don't know) have something to do with adjusting the flow to each injector so they all squirt the same amount. I guess you might need some fancy beakers or other test setup to get them flowing precisely even.

Great thread! I hope it takes off, because if you haven't looked inside it really is not any more complicated than a carb.
Time to open up this mystery!

BTW, I herd what I'll call a roumer that there are rebuild kits. I'm digging to find out how to get a parts list and who you have to know to order one.

Keep us posted on the sealer because that is probably 3/4 of the mystery. I bet most could be just taken apart and cleaned and fix 99% of issues.
