Went to the manual as i thought it was the higher number
Now that is high compression but all i have said just prior to this post still applies about 92 or better octane
I would…"

Do not run anything but the highest premium gasoline you can find ( or want to afford ) ----92 octane or more

Jason Edge commented on James jacques's blog post fuel line"Frank, per shop manual they recommend approx. 94.5 octane using todays (R+M)/2 pump rating method. For more details Click Here."
Russ Austin commented on James jacques's blog post fuel line"Frank, the compression ratio is 10:1 and that is high compression. Check the return line, and then do a fuel pump test per the book. I suspect a weak pump or a carb rebuild."

I have been having getting my car to start then a friend came by and hooked a wire from the coil to the battery and it fired right away. Can anyone tell me if it's the starter or some other electrical problem. Thanks

HVAC Vacuum Valve Clip-need the one for the Power Control side
Posted by Norman Silverman on September 17, 2018 at 8:15pm 6 Comments 1 Like
Hi.
Update:
I removed both 7 nipple vacuum valves and called my buddy who owns a machine shop. Tomorrow we'll re-surface the valve faces and then I'll reinstall them. HOWEVER, the one that comes out easily and comes apart with no rivet is on the Power module side. It installs on one side with a small bolt, and on the other it is held on by a clip, WHICH IS MISSING ON MY CAR. I am going to assume it is the same clip that is used on the Control Module side. Anybody got one? Happy…

So, I've put my 7 vacuum valve from the control head side to the test, and it failed. I looked at the instructions for re-conditioning it and unless I am missing something, the instructions are missing something (about how to take off the clip that provides the tension that holds the two pieces together).
In any case, I can't do this particular repair so I am looking for a new valve (not likely), or a good re-conditioned one, or someone who has done this before and would do mine for…
