Ended up getting and installing a used distributor from Trail Tough (they're just a few miles from my house). Installed new Bosch dizzy cap and rotor (only goes on one way). Timed dizzy to tdc firing on number one cylinder (rotor pointing to number 1 cylinder with lock-down bolt in middle of adjustment window, same as the dizzy that I broke and had to replace).
New radiator, hoses, thermostat etc.
Put everything back together. Filled radiator with water and flush solution.
Started engine and rpm (reading from tach in dashboard, not the most accurate, I know) went to 1800 and climbed to over 2000 in less than a minute. I wasn't happy with that so shut the engine down.
Reading the Fixkick page suggested a dirty ISC valve. I removed it for cleaning but see no way of dis-assembling it?
I should also note that the stop for the throttle cable has no clearance between the adjustment screw and stop. I'm wondering if P.O. may have adjusted this to compensate for low idle due to poor state of tune?
Also, read trouble codes. No issues, showing code 12.
Any suggestions?
