I'll help you with it when I get back. I think your idle is normal, it could be a fuzz high.

I think i have it starting better be turn back the choke thing a bit...Will have to try again in the morning to know for sure....lol

Just cant find "Said" screw you mentioned

Yes I wear head gear...But its my sparring partner that need to make sure they wear head gear baha

haha yeah! Yours may not have the screw I was referring to.

[JRANGER]

Ok im thinking it has something to do with a fast idle screw that i cant find to save my life...So basically its something to do with the choke

[JRANGER]

OK finally i found the fast idle screw...I have the fast idle down to 1750 or so...And ive gotten the idle down to high 800s....May need a better spring as it was 900 and i pulled the throttle back so not sure it will last with my spring in place

[JRANGER]

Ordered dual throttle return springs from Advanced for store pickup tomorrow...Gotta love 20% discount lol

[JRANGER]

yeah one on each side but that doesnt really change my idle at all

Just curb idle and fast idle screws

[cubber]

I bet if you keep foolin with it you'll figure it out.

[chevybuilder18]

Also the Radiator hose wasnt extremely tight on the block so it squirted out a bit on the block and valve covers...BOOO! Lol

Tach looks good, fits right in
my 79 305 stock should be Auto500rpm (D) ,Man600rpm (N)
fast idle Auto1600rpm(P)(N),Man1300rpm

Interesting...So its really weird...When frozen cold it idles at 500, fast idle at 1000 but when slightly warmer it idles at 900 and fast idle is at 1300.....IM going to raise it to 1600 and call it a day as i have no clue whats going on but it doesnt seem like it will go futher...Someone mentioned something about some arm i can adjust on the passenger side but im not sure

[cubber]

I think those might go under the radiator core support.

^^ I'm pretty sure, especially if you bought the whole body kit, and not just the cab bushings.

Under the bottom of what? The Cab mounts already have the Cone shaped bottom connectors

[JRANGER]

Just bought some Modular connectors to use to re-wire the cluster all together...Tired of this copper piece moving and touching each other....Im going to solder wires directly to the copper ends and then hot glue it all in place to hold it solid....Then take the other end and wire it into the male connector

Should be what im up to next weekend if they arrive

[77ChevySharkBite]

Nice man sounds awesome, gimme an hour or so you'll see the goodies I got today I actually decided to put my big bit pants on bundle up and work on the beast today

[JRANGER]

lol......Too bad the 305 is SLOW!!! I wonder what gears I have...hmmmmm

[JRANGER]

Well got to work on the truck real quick and have it starting up much better...The choke was opening up to quickly so i turned it back a notch and it started after 2 tries...Im pretty sure it would of been 1 try but i was trying to hit the gas and caused it to stall now im just working on the high idle rpm and i think it will be as good as gold

[cubber]

Your ability to figure out how something works and then repair it is really impressive, and thats no BS.
