I'm working on tearing my Cadillac apart to scrap the body, and I took a few moments to work on the truck. The hood latch was dorked, but I put a washer between the hood cable end and the latch, and that's fixed it. I guess the cable's stretched and I need to buy a new one.
As soon as I got the hood open I began chasing vacuum lines and found the vacuum line to the vacuum canister had pulled off. I re-clocked the vacuum canister in its bracket and cut the plastic tubing shorter so the hose doesn't make a U. I also noticed the bracket on the alternator that holds the radiator hose up was rubbing on the hose and had chafed into it. I tweaked that. I guess I need to order a new hose as well. I didn't drive it to see if it cleared up the idle yet.
I'd been fighting rusted hardware on the Cadillac all day, so I wasn't energetic enough to drop the Holley distributor in yet. I did look at the coil, and it has a massive heat sink/mount with "Holley Sniper EFI Hyperspark" painted all over it. I'd like to pop it free of the mount and use the stock mount to stand it inocculously at the back of the manifold, but I'm not a fan of losing the heat sink.
