BIGRED,
Remember that the '85 California cars have a unique electrically controlled vacuum system that ties into the emissions system. The whole group of vacuum lines that most 123s have on the top of the cam cover aren't there on the '85 Cali version. Our cars only have a single microswitch on the cam cover than gets tripped at full throttle. All the vacuum lines are attached elsewhere at other controllers. I think Smartin is on the right track.
