Hey everybody,

Great news. I finally got a chance to look at bus. I started by performing a
basic visual of the injecotr wires and electrical wires, all looked good.
Then went to the vacum lines. Boom found that the vacum retard had blown
off. Connected it back and she fired right up and ran beutifully for 10
minutes. Killed her put a hose clamp on and took for a 30 mile spin. She ran
awsome. Best since I have had her. in fact I remember you all talking about
0-60 times so I decided to try it. She finished at 34 seconds. I am pleased
That seems to be in normal range with the rest of you.

However, There is one concern. What would cause this vacum retard line to
blow off the engine. Is it more suseptible at high throttle conditions than
low, should the hose clamp hold? Does this mean there could be an oil
pressure issue that could cause back pressure in other systems or similar
consequences?
