you got a real old thread here. from a member that has not signed in for a year.

I would suggest you start a new thread. and list what you got for equipment: what carb by its markings / #s, what fuel pump.
..40 years old things can get swapped, with stuff that does not belong,..is not set right,...all gummed up with varnish.

and at least in a 1986 variety, ... lots of paths for trouble vehicle Electrical, fuel flow, carb workings, carb with its own electrical,

When you create your own thread. State whether anything has been deviated from stock and make sure everyone knows it's California spec. California is different. Different,carb,ignition,and has a controller for the carb and ignition. The rest of the US does not in 86.
