I have a 440 with a Comp Cams 280H cam and a Street Demon carb (the newer Thermoquad/Quadrajet hybrid style)
When I turn the idle set screw all the way down I only get 2350 rpm.
Car seems to run fine, has good power.
What am I doing wrong? Is something limiting the idle mixture screw at idle in Park?
can I just set 38BTDC at 2350 RPM.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Vic


Do any of you guys ever read what the original questions?
He is trying to get the curb idle screw to run the engine up to 2800 rpms.

To answer your question. Manually move the throttle by hand to the 2800 rpms. Then adjust the timing to where you want it.
