Success on the return throttle front

Out: pushy Stromberg throttle return spring
In: Using an improvised double-spring, hanging from a secured screw clamp on a 
nearby hose. + Screwing in the pedal stop all the way.

Thanks for the advice. It is nice to get the full throttle range again.

As for the tachometer front: I hooked up an old-fashioned voltmeter to the 
coil, and watched accordingly as I revved up the engine. The needle acted just 
the same way as the tach did. I hold a higher RPM, and after a second the 
needle goes down. Makes no sense to me.

Spark plugs looked good. Re-gapped 'em. 

Perhaps this is the punishment I paid for using just the Crane amplifier 
module, and not the optical setup you stuff into the distributor. Wonder if I 
could order the rest of that seperately.


On another note, is there any way to testing a Lucas CEI amplifier module on 
the workbench, short of reinstalling it? 

Fuel economy front: Still bad. Looks like it's time to get a fuel pressure 
regulator.
