Yes, full load comes on via the 5th pin on the '72-3 TVS. Yes, that's near full 
throttle, but that IS full throttle, after all.

Two other pins on the same TVS give extra injector pulses, same as on 
'70-1, to provide opening throttle enrichment, just like a throttle pump on a 
carb.

I'd recommend tweaking the fuel pressure rather than the pressure sensor. I 
think that will give you what you want, AND is something you can measure 
and put back where you started if it doesn't pan out.

Recalling the trouble Daniel and Jessica went thru with their '69, when they 
tried to tune via their air/fuel sensor, I'm reluctant to recommend that route. I 
suspect that the Big Boys, the automakers, have much more sophisticated 
instruments, that are much better at measuring transient exhaust conditions. 
It seemed to me that their experience indicated that under rapidly changing 
conditions, their sensor was responding to other things, in addition to 
air/fuel, other things like exhaust flow velocity and exhaust temperature.

I had a friend, a recently deceased engineering professor, who ran an 
engine research lab here at the Univ. of Wis. It was a pretty amazing place, 
with instrumention you and I couldn't imagine, and none of it would have fit 
in an actual vehicle, other than possibly a medium sized truck. Most of his 
work was funded by Ford, but I suspect that what Ford had in their own test 
labs, was even more impressive.
