Here’s an update.

I removed my throttle body and investigated what was holding the plate open that literal 1mm.

What I found was the part that has the small,1/8th inch vacuum line, is that the dash pot? Anyway, I adjusted the stop screw so that the plate was completely closed. Everytime the idle was high, I would close that gap and it would calm down. I also did the washer mod as well to take out some of the side to side movement.

I still have to drive it to see if there’s an improvement.

I hope it will take care of the issue, as she now owes me after all the parts and body work. She now has stainless rockers! One less thing to worry about living in Maine.

Anyway, I’ll do another update after a test drive.

After I adjusted the dash pot, it did the sam high idle again.

I removed my throttle body one last time and noticed the plate was off to one side. I ended up finding just the right washer to space it out. There is a perfect light halo around the plate and it now idles properly.

Thank you to all for the help!
