I'm finally dusting off the 73 after a long winter and can't get the damn thing to idle right. Over the winter I started the car a few (very few) times and ended up fouling the plugs... Replaced the plugs and swapped out the 750 VacSec carb that was on it with a 600 VacSec I had. I got the car running and took it for a ride the other day. Tonight I started it up and the idle "surges" between 800 and 1100 when sitting in park. I checked the timing and it's good, didn't check the fuel level/floats yet. Any thoughts?
Also, I have a Carter Strip pump on the car - could it be getting too much fuel pressure?
