Four questions.
1. What VECI sticker numbers. Could you post it cleaned up a little with a rag, and post the E1 XX XXXX XX DXX num?
Mine is E1 BE 9C485 CA, DCK
It has LHS and RHS info.
Here's my RHS info broken down. Yours is different. I need to see both sides if you could manage it, cuase I reckon the EGR line routing is different on non A/C cars.
2. Whats you full engine calibration sticker code?
Mine is IJ 204, with 1-12B -RO on the rhs.
Yours is differnt, and the RHS no is the calibration VECI on
RED'78's website
IJ 204 AA, but 1-12 RO is the clibration VECI you check those lines agianst, which you'll find on
RED'78's web site.
My cars calibration (as per the Rocker Cover) is IJ 204 AA, yours is xx 205 BA, so it will be DIFFERENT.
Already, without all the VECI visible, your Point "A" is a checking point in the instructions on the LHS of the VECI sticker lookes
different.
So there
is a difference between yours and mine,
Because you don't have A/C, your set up is missing an extra vac check point "A" on the EGR circuit. And you don't have the idle control SOL that A/C cars do, so Ford will have a slightly different vac arrangement for secondary AIR.
I'm pretty sure the problem is simple, and a variance on the set up I had on my 81 A/C auto.
If you post your VECI diagram in full like mine, we can see where the EGR line goes EXACTLY.
Ford are pretty smart, there will be a difference if there is only one Hand Pump vacuum check point.
I note that
BTD has a CA emissions 81, but its 4-speed T4 manual but has no A/C either, so no idle kicker, or what is called variously the VOTM system (electric SOL V that sits on rocker cover of A/C cars)
3. Note BTD's AIR pump is long since gone, but is Is there a diffrence in the line arrangement?
Here is it here.
Engine 3.3 200
I'll ask for VECI's from each of you because its likely to be something
really simple like that.
4. As for the carb, what part do you think has the extra screw that's binding it up?
For the later 1981 onwards 1946C carb, this is the full schemtic. You have to push the Magnifying glass icon to get it in full size.

Everything has a number if your eyes are good enough.
Kits are generic, and Mikes cars and others haven't yet done a rebuild video on the 1981 to 1983 1946C Holleys, there are a few bowle vent and other differences.
Another one is the check weights. Its easy to sub in the wrong part, and sometimes, they may have been wrong from previous service.
