Subject: [T3] Hypothetical Questions...

Since some more time and miles will be needed to come to some solid
conclusions, let's make this hypothetical.....

- What would be the performance effects on a T III FI '72 Std engine if the
Temp Sensor at the Air Distributor (not the head) was disconnected?

It would run a little rich, not much.

- What about if the Cold Start plug wires were accidentally plugged into
that Air Dist Temp Sensor while Cold Start switch was unplugged and fuel
line sealed?

Nothing.

- If unplugging the double prong wire to that temp sensor made the
car...er...A car...work perfectly, and idle evenly, and have easily
adjustable idle, would that indicate that that temp sensor was shot? 

Maybe, but it would also indicate a vacuum leak somewhere making it too
lean, or a pressure sensor that is adjusted too lean
   

-  If car works best when that Air Dist Temp Sensor is unplugged (and Cold
Start also deleted), does this tell us anything?

Yea, the above answer.
