I'm now subscribed to you on Youtube. lol Thanks for the vids. That tach is reading right...Your idle is set pretty perfect...most of the 6 cylinders idled at 450-600 rpm....my 292 that was in my 64 idle at 500 rpm. Reving past 2500 in neutral makes it sound like its screaming. lol But under load that changes...I rev mine up to about 3500 in 3rd...sometimes 4300...cause 4th is another huge drop. Look forward to the driving video.
