Re: idle set
the tac might be a bit off. i would try another tac first. if they are close the small blocks should idle 800+ and 650 in drive. timing, cams, carb tuning all play into the rpm setings

Re: idle set
Mine idles around 750 to 800 in park, and drops doew to 550 or 600 in drive. 350 with a TH350. But mine has a snotty cam and a stall converter.

Re: idle set
Thats a sure sign of not enough converter. A huge drop from park to drive and lurching at stop lights etc is a dead giveaway that the converter doesnt match the cam. What is the duration @.050 on the cam

Re: idle set
Doesn't lurch into gear at all... and pulls away smooth at stop lights. 2,800 RPM stall
Lunati 292 Bracketmaster II, 230 @ .050... I might be cheating a bit and have the idle turned down some to make it lope a little more. Just to play around...  Gary
