We were using a dwell meter that had an rpm setting, so I dont doubt that I didnt read it correctly. We drove it around yesterday and I was joking that it was cruise control. When we had to stop I would kill the engine since it was paining me to hear it revving that high. Basing the sound on what my Ford ranger 4 cyl. sounds like, it is around 4-5Krpms. When I adjust the idle screw a quarter turn, it will run ok for a few seconds, then just drop and die. I did have it adjusted where it would drop down into what I would call a stall (like an airplane), then it would run back up. This cycled about every 10-15 seconds. This was after adjusting the idle mixture screws.
