Firing It Up At The Museum: 1975 AMC Pacer

Firing It Up The Museum, Ep. 12: One of the best parts about maintaining the cars in the museum is firing them up and listening to the engines. Hang out with us while we do some behind the scenes work and learn a thing or two about the cars. A special thanks to our exhibitors for sharing their vehicles and being part of the museum.

Repairing the choke pull-off would fix that problem. It's what us old time mechanics called "loading up". Pretty easy fix. Look for a vacuum diaphragm that attaches to the choke plate. The diaphragm probably has a hole in it. Easy to repair if you can find a replacement unit.
I was a mechanic before we were "technicians" LOL.
At 3200+ pounds, it weighed nearly as much as an Ambassador!
