Hi all!

Just put a new distributer in, and my '67 Vert runs super-smooth! However, when I take my foot off the gas, the idle drops so low that I stall most of the time - especially at stop signs. Is this more than likely just a simple idle adjustment on the carb?

I'm hesitant to change anything on the carb because I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to them.

Nevermind. It was just the throttle adjustment. Good to go!
