Looking at the 88 of 220 starting to go up a little faster than it really should, even for a carb, so that can be both the indicaiton of the dirty air filter and making it run rich, to which a fresh tune-up may improve those numbers more than one would think. A weak spark (from lack of tune-up) generally increases the smog numbers as the rpm goes up and the spark starts weakening (or finding other routes to spark, shortest distance between two point thing), so they should only slightly go up at best. Just a comment and throught more than anything.

Should be OK with the filter and tune-up. Let us know how it goes. Thing about running good and not tuning them up, the drop-off of everything is so gradual one usually doesn't notice the slight difference in performance over time or know if the mileage is really dropping any.

Yeah, I have replaced a few of those headliners in the past, nothing works on trying to repair even though someone did make wooden dowel makeshift bows to run side to side. Doesn't fix the problem, but it does get it off the top of your head. I simply take the panel out and take it down to a local upholsterer and let them take care of it, worth it to know it will last longer than original.

Have to admit, this is the first time I have seen this. Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but I wonder if it would have made a difference if the battery was disconnected to set the computer to factory pre-sets? If things like the air filter was as dirty as it was and worn components operating acceptably, not sure why it would have gotten worse unless the engine just wasn't warmed up enough to readjust itself before retesting.
