After all these years the chances of a big vacuum leak at the Elecromatic vacuum cylinder are pretty good. I'd simply eliminate the possibility of a vacuum leak in the entire Electromatic system by blocking the vacuum line from the manifold to the control valve with a rubber stopper or something similar inserted inside the line. Do it at the control valve end so the stopper can't be sucked into the intake manifold. If that eliminates the problem, fine; if not, you've eliminated one possibility.
