    My '74tii has been known to do that. My fixit has been to tweak the tiny screw inside the tuna can. For example: a) I would do a tune-up: clean plugs and points, set point gap. Then the up-down idle cycling would happen. So with the engine "on" and at normal running temperature, I would turn the tiny screw 1/4-turn (I don't recall the direction) ...... idle would smooth right out, everything was just fine. b) 1,000 miles later, the idle would start cycling again. So I'd turn the tiny screw 1/4-turn in the other direction ....... idle would smooth right out. c) Then I'd do a tune-up ...... and again have to tweak the tiny screw. d) The "secret" I discovered is that the tiny screw need only be turned no more than 1/4-turn, maybe even 1/8th of a turn, to provide the steady idle. e) In general, I didn't need to adjust the idle speed screw on the tuna can.

    Points ...... you got points ?? The gap could be too small. That makes for hard starting and "lumpies." Cheers, Carl

    FANTASTIC !! and for this hardcore SoCal'ian, a picture is not enough ...... Exact Location is always desireable & much appreciated for what I like to refer to as "copycat" driving: knowing that another 2002'er has already led the way should I find my own '74tii zooming through the same area and seeing the same view during a "278" errand ........ Cheers, Carl

    Definitely my kind of weather, and still not as hot as it gets in my sauna. My recommendation: a few icy-cold pints at one of my favorite places in your neighborhood ..... Hotel Palisade !! Cheers, Carl

    zinz, yep, I definitely commend that guy's firm efforts to maintain things as original as possible ...... even if it means a very minor bit of "cosmetic distortion" ........ Cheers, Carl

    46 years ago, 15 November was a Friday. That evening I took delivery of a brand-new '74tii from Saddleback BMW in Mission Viejo, CA. It's still got the original paint ....... Cheers, Carl p.s. for all the SoCal folks, look closely at the extreme right of the picture, you might recognize the front of Lucky Fools Pub in Moorpark. Best Reuben Sandwich I've ever found.
