If you still have the computer, don't make my mistake...

If you've got one of those oddball Qjets with TWO vacuum breaks on the passenger's side, do NOT "tee" the vacuum line for the MAP/VAC sensor off of it. Mine was a "controlled leak" type break and it caused the computer fits.

I eventually just yanked the second break off. Didn't seem to make any difference.

Yeah yeah. So it took me forever to realize those things are controlled leak. So shoot me.

The kind of mistake you only make once.

BTW- the second break opens more slowly than the first and pops the choke open just slightly more than the first. You make need to readjust the primary break just slightly leaner to compensate. Otherwise, removing it does little harm.
