You have something way, way, way wrong.

You are gonna be foolin around with this thing all summer long if you dont get the neccessary tools to tune it with. A tach is one of those tools.

Remind me again what carb you have on there? What is your timing set to? What is your complete fuel system? Did you ever get your rocker issue fixed? When you ask a technical question we need to know more then just your very basic problem. We need to know supporting mods, what exact peice it is you have a problem with, what you have tryed in order to fix it, & what you have to work with, ect ect ect.

When you set your final idle you need to pull it into gear (if auto). I'm probably gonna set my idle around 750-800rpms. To fine tune your idle adjust your idle mixture screws. You dont want them too far out though. You may have to buy a calibration kit from edelbrock to tune the carb, I know my friend did with his. He had a edelbrock 750cfm performer carb on a sbc.
