I had no problems with the timing when
disconnecting any of them. One thing I did do and should mention is I adjusted
the air/fuel mixture on the carb and the idel screw, but just to make up for it
not having all the bullshit life support connected to it.
My 82 Eagle wagon has a 258 and 210,000 miles on
it, I bought it at 81,000. I left the crap emissions on it for two years, then
in a fit, tore all that crap out, as the car ran like crap no matter what I
tried and simply just got tired of screwing with it. The pile of hoses and
wires, smog pump, tubs and crap from under the engine was staggering and I took
a photo of it. Abot 2 feet high and maybe three feet circumfrence. Just
absolutely amazing.
I disconnect the electrical shit on back of carb,
readjusted it, reset the timing (not on Hornet but on this Eagle) and plugged
all holes, some like the emission tubes that come out of exhaust manifold I
broke the main one in back and poured two tubes of JB Weld in it, which sealed
it and remains today almost ten years later like a bad Jurassic Park movie.
The car not only had more power and get up, but
also seemed to have tons more towing capacity as it is my Planet Houston Swap
Meet Tow Car and hauls not only parts but also whole cars.

lines (was crap for swapping V8)
Will plugging the vac lines throw off the
timming?

This is one you get a batch of those rubber
plugs sold at Auto Zone for $4, find right size and plug the hole in the
carb after you disconnect the cannister.

My charcoal bucket has a line going to the
carb.

photo 596 shows back on intake, note little vacuum modulator with
no hoses to it, this might be one of the things you mention with
hoses. It is not to the round thing but directly in front of the big
hose, barely seen. photo 597 shows a worthless piece of shit thing on
the side of the block which used to have 3-4 vac lines. This is on
the driver side of the engine, you can see the back of the altenator
in front of photo. photo 598 shows your black bucket thing, which is
a charcoal bucket for emissions. This outlived it's usefulness in
the Reagan administration. Again, nothing attached to it. Hope
some of these photos help, especially that taco helped me. If you need
a NOS AMC jalapeno I have a special on them Eddie
