A while back a piece of stamped steel linkage broke and I replaced it with a close but not quite matching linkage and adjusted the rods to compensate .
To - day I decided to park my '84 TD that runs and has perfect throttle response , next to my '84 Coupe and match and adjust the rods equally .
I was able to do this to all the rods except the vertical one connecting the I.P. to the linkage , I had to lengthen it significantly more than the Wagon's one to make it all work .
I now have vastly improved " tip in " throttle response although the loping @ idle is still present and the engine doesn't return quickly to idle when I release the throttle at freeway speeds , this is why I decided to tinker with it to - day .
I cleaned and lubricated all the ball pivots , most were dry yet again .
