Hi I have just installed an engine from a 68 type3 fuel injected into my 73 fastie. Went for a drive went alright then it started to run rought and started to blow black smoke when at idle there is a huge cloud of black smoke and the car drives of running rough.

Sometimes it idles ok but wen you rev the motor it blows black smoke . then if you just bring the revs up a little the black smoke just pours out and the engine runs rough.

I have unplugged te cold start injector and this made no change.

Can anyone help please as this is my daily driver
thanks heaps

sounds like you have a vacuum leak. (Is the word "Vacuum" valid here?)

Your were not far wrong the pipe to the fuel pressure regulator had come off and fallen under the air intake. So a new clamp and now running real well


thanks for your thoughts
