this afternoon. Ran a line direct from the manifold to the alda, no change. Replaced a couple suspect vacuum hoses in and around the alda, vacuum switch etc. no change. Changed the kick down switch with a known good one from my other 124, no change. The car seems to upshift very quickly and never build significant RPM's. Even with foot to the floor I don't believe it tops 2000-2500 RPM's until 35+ MPH. (tach doesn't work) Idles well and shuts off immediatly. I need to buy some vac. tubing to check the boost, I only have about a foot left. Do I just plug the mityvac into the manifold nipple that normally leads to the alda switch?

Trap ox has been removed. I don't think I could build enough RPM's to do an IT. Revs fine in park but no guts in gear.
