It's about a 100 to 200 rpm lower at idle than it used to be. What adjustments would I have to do to raise the idle again? Its a 289 4 barrel. Thanks for any help.
definately depends on your cam. my car needs to run at about 900 and even then it likes to stall when warm or cold when stopping at a stop sign. i just love the way the cam sounds at about 900 rpm's when idling. but yes around 650 to 750 when fully warmed up with an auto. make sure your car is completely warm and the choke is disengaged before you try and set the idle, otherwise you will be way off with the fast idle choke running. that can also be set, but by another carb specific way
yeah, i have a pretty big cam and have to idle around 1000, if i drop it to like 800 or 900, it sounds GREAT but tends to want to stall..but i love the low idle sound on a big cam mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
For an auto dont forget the RPM's drop[ a bit when put in drive, so if possible tune it with some body holding the brake..OR tune then jump in and put it in drive
