I have an autolite,
This thing is weird, yesterday after I'd start it up it would be at 600, after a press of the gas it would rest at 850. Then i went for a drive at night so i couldn't see the gauge. Today, after checking the carb I turned it on, it started off at 600 and stayed there, I scratched my head, pressed the gas it came bak to 600 I said ok... Put it in drive and it went down to 500ish. Ok, I put it park again and it went to 650. I let it run for 10 minutes, tried it again, put it in drive, this time it went all the way down to 200 and in park it stayed at 450. I moved the car up (its on a slope in the drive way) and put it back in park and now its at 550 in park.
I'm confused.
(The day I took the first readings with the tach, the car hadn't been moved for 3-4 days)
