If yours has the air control valve and the throttle switch, it probably has the coolant temperature sensor below the number one intake port about an inch and one-half away from where the number three spark plug wire plugs into the distributor cap. It's easily visible with a flashlight.

The CPR is probably pretty well covered in the archives. I don't know much about it except that it comes into play when the car is warming up. I believe it's also called a warm-up regulator. I've never taken one apart.

Good luck.
