well, 75% throttle is exactly that: the throttle is 3/4 of pedal travel to wide open. engine load is a calculation based on several factors, but your ear can probably tell you what the engine is doing. if it sounds like the engine is working hard, your under heavy load. Instrumentation, even a vacuum gauge, makes it the easiest and takes away the guessing.
