I replaced the temp sensor on a suggestion from hey you. It took a while I know, but broken leg, cold as hell and no garage don't go together very well. So far it seems to be running fine but idling a little low, but hasn't tried to die and fired right up every time. Thanks for your suggestions everybody.

What is it idling at?

Good to hear it runs again.

A little above 500 in gear at a stop. I'd be more comfortable with it around 650-700, but it hasn't stalled out. It also idles a little rough sometimes, but I need to re-route the plug wires according to the tab and I think it should take care of it.

Wonder if the tach is just inaccurate......

Should idle right around 600 fully warmed, in gear. So long as it doesn't stall though, its probably good..

I figured that, and when I put my plug wires on I didn't know about the tsb on them. I'm gonna check fuel pressure while I'm up there, but so far so good. Thanks again for your hwlpy
