Thanks from everyone for the responses, it really helped me in finding a starting point. 2.0 f.i. non-calif federal

Non calif. model, so no O2 sensor. Cat conv. already punched out by p.o. Muffler not clogged. I misspoke and said timing retards when I rev motor - I meant it advanced (timing moves counter clockwise on scale). Distributor is single vac advance.

Last night, I replaced fuel injector seals - large and small replaced intake manifold boots - 4 checked vacuum can on dist. w/ vac pump - operated normal

timing is jumpy now, rough idle. I think I've closed up some of the smaller and obvious vacuum leaks, but have made a new more important leak somewhere else. All vacuum and breather lines have been replaced. I'm going to put the vacuum gauge on tonight to get some readings.

So, are there any other vacuum areas I should be looking for? What should I see when I hook up the vacuum gauge to the various ports?
