- 1973 Convertible. 1989 306 roller block with ported heads b303 cam, Hughes street rod converter. The car has 91k original miles. Has been painted once but is unrestored. I put the new engine in at 89k. It has about 280hp which is about double the original.
The idle speed should be the one on the right with the spring that's at a 45 degree angle

Just tryna restore it
Ok that's what I figured ! Also one thing I forgot to mention that yellow and red wire, the yellow one is cut and the red one goes to the ignition coil. Is that gonna mess with anything ?

The lever with the screw and spring is the kick down lever. The idle screw is out of view in the photo. It is below the kick down lever. It screws into the baseplate. Chuck

Could the yellow wire be the white wire with red stripe that goes to the oil pressure sensor? The red could be red with green stripe to coil. Sometimes the markings get rubbed off. You can still buy that little harness. My idle speed is adjusted with the anti diesel solenoid.
