okay, '84 GSL 12A.

I put another motor in this summer, now that I'm driving it again I've got some questions about weird stuff. . .

Its seems to be making this fast clicking noise from under the dash or the back of the engine compartment, drivers side. I only notice it at idle though. Its gets weirder because I also hear this sound from back around the antenna area in the hatch, so I'm thinking like some kind of antenna relay or something? I have no idea.
Also, the car backfires when I shift close to redline. It never used to do this before. Any ideas?
Finally, and I have posted this question before, does anybody know where the small nozzle that runs out the lower intake goes? It faces toward the back of the car, and the the non-nozzle end is connected to like the coupler with a buncha wires. I think its called the bypass air solenoid valve but I'm not really sure. I'll get some pics up soon so you know what I'm talking about.
One more thing, the car is hard to keep running when its cold. It starts up buck then acts like it runs out of fuel all the sudden. I have to start it about 3-4 times before it will stay running, and then only while I gas it for a few minutes..
other than that its grrreat to be back at the wheel.

 

The clicking is some sort of relay under the dash. Mine used to do that at idle also, it just quit one day.
For the backfire, check your exhaust system, any leaks will cause a backfire, also the ACV if it is malfunctioning can cause backfiring, and check your timing too.

Where is the AVC? how do I go about adjusting it?

I'm sure my timing is messed up also but I'm still trying to figure that out. . .
