Yes, I'd like to have the car up and running before that. I'm in mid. Missouri about 80 miles west of St. Louis, but keep in touch.

I've been told that maybe the Shutter valve might be bad but doesn't know if it can be replaced or not. does anyone have any ideas ?

I have read that the shutter valve can be replaced but the question is, is mine bad and if it is can it leak fuel into the carb. or cause it to burn rich and fowl out plugs. Not all the plugs but just one. It doesn't have any of the symptoms I've read about. No rough idle no honking or whistling noises. As far as I can tell it doesn't make any noise that I can hear.

Curtis I had 83 Rx and when my shutter valve went bad there is a vacuum line top motor not sure exact location remember plugging it with a bolt must have been size thumb, plugged it off at I think it was carb. Smoothed the rotary right out drove it many years that way. Takes alot fix shutter valve. Mine made whistle sound when throttling heavy. Hope you can get it figured out.
