Re: rough idle 1800 1972

Thad,

I'd sure be suspicious of the injector seals. With the engine cold and idling, shoot a stream of carb cleaner at the base of each injector. There will be a noticeable change if any of it gets sucked in past the seals. Personally, I like using water in a small plant mister for this job. If any seal is gone then replace the whole lot. They do dry out and shrink after 10 or 20 years.
