It could have a ruptured Diaphram, if so, you will see oil come up the vac tube. Use clear tubing, so you don`t get oil into the mity-vac. or suck on the tubing will also work.
This is probably the place I need to start, 1st. I do have a few small vac lines that were removed kinda willy nilly when we were removing the engine from the '77. I am going to try and reconnect them 1st, I assume that might be the problem. I want to do this prior to adjustoing the linkage. Do you agree? I took lots of pre removal Pic's

I disconnected the linkage when the EMSO would not kill the engine. It would try to shut the engine down but would not kill it.

Yes, never had a problem turning motor off.

Thanks, I am sure I will have lots more questions as my car recovers from the surgery
