[Roadsters] Slow to return to idle?

[Keith0alan at aol.com]

1600 or 2000? The 1600 had some 70 only smog stuff. One of the things they  
did was to hold the throttle open a bit under high manifold vacuum conditions.  
This was to prevent back firing. The small vacuum hose on the manifold should 
go  to the vacuum motor for it. This may be out of adjustment. For a test 
pull the  hose and cap the barb on the manifold. Another possibility is that the 
vacuum  advance on the distributor is hooked to the manifold vacuum rather 
than the  vacuum port on the carb.

1970  roadster is slow to return to idle when shifting. 
If you are shifting  under 2000 rpms no problem. Over 2000 rpms it seems to 
hang up several seconds  before it will idle down.
All smog equipment is on the  car.
Thanks.
