Okay, so I've got my wagon all tuned up and running as well as I think I can get it. I gave up trying to use an engine analyzer to tune it, and used a vacuum gauge instead.
Adjusted static timing, then the idle mixture until I got about 14-15 inHg at 950rpm idle. It has a 383 Blueprint stroker so I guess that's the best I can get out of it with the cam it has. It's relatively smooth though so it's good.
Got the blower motor to work, but I have one problem... I can't seem to get the vacuum actuated doors to work and switch from defrost to vent or anything else. I get plenty of heat out of the defroster, but if I want to push air out of the vents, it just won't do it.
I've got to test the box to see if I need to change the actuators, but in the meantime, I think it might just be how I'm getting vacuum. I'm not sure where to draw from on this. I'll provide link to my carburetor, hopefully somebody can provide some insight on how to set up the vacuum to the heater box.
Right now I've got the little ball on the passenger side fender with two vacuum ports going to it. One port has a grey tube, the other is purple. I've got the grey one going to the front right side port on the carburetor (normally used for EGR) and the purple one going back to HVAC. From the HVAC there's another tube that I have going to the heater hose actuator.
