Hey,
I've even got the plug. But when I saw a screw driven into a stub of vacuum line off a tee that goes to the thermo-switch I was certain the PO had done something b-a-a-a-d.
Manually dialing in more retard at cold start seems to make my car start more easily. It's possible the vacuum isn't high enough when starting (bad hose? bad Aux. Air Valve? bad Aux Air Regulator? charcoal canister?) to give sufficient retard for easy starting.
With the clutch out of commission, I haven't warmed the car up or taken it out to see if the static retard for easy starting has affected acceleration or drivability.
Tomorrow, if I can get under the car tonight to get the clutch cable suport back in.

John "+5 degrees" is 5 degrees ATDC?
