Tune-Up specs???

[frankiesaysrelax]

Hey, does anybody happen to have the tune-up specs for a '78 Zephyr Z7 with the 200 cid 6 cyl (3.3L) and an auto trans? Also, should the distributor be plumbed to manifold vacuum or ported vacuum. Thanks.

12 Degrees BTDC vacuum line disconnected and plugged. Idle speed 550rpm in drive with brakes applied. Distributor plumbed to ported vacuum.

Right on! Hope I can blow that up a little bigger and make sense of it... Looks a little bit different than my setup, mainly the AIR checkvalve on that image comes up from the passenger side and over the motor to the drivers side (diagram 2, part... D?) and mine has the straighter tube that just comes up on the passenger side and that's it...

Thee are lots of different combinations of the engine and emissions packages for these cars based on year, and engine size.
Go to http://www.autozone.com
Set up a free account, enter the year, make and model of your car and look under "VIEW REPAIR GUIDE, EMISSION CONTROLS, VACUUM DIAGRAMS" and find the one that looks like what you have. If your engine still has the sticker, look for the one that matches your calibration number.

Omg, looking at those makes my head hurt, heh. I'll have to take a closer look later...

And which sticker where? I've got a sticker with timing and spark gap on the back drivers side of the valve cover (not sure what else is on it, a little faded and grimy, cleaned it several times...)

Iirc, that's the only sticker I remember offhand...

From what you describe, your car must have a "Air Pump" set-up.
It is in the lower right corner of this picture of the calibration sticker which is on the front of the motor.

Mostly correct, my car HAD an A.I.R pump setup...

I didn't realize that was a calibration sticker, I thought it was just a part number or stock code of some sort, I'll have to take a closer look at it and see if it's readable, when the heat index isn't 110+ outside...
