Engine idle RPM

[mshmodela]

After reading a thread on engine idle RPM, my engine was clearly idling too fast. I looked at Les Andrews book and http://www.model-a.org/idle_adjustment.html my Zenith 1 my idle rpm adjustment was all the way in so yeah idling fast...



I backed off the rpm one turn and wow, did that slow the engine down... I took my car for a drive and she sounds very smooth and balanced --and of course ran cooler... I do not a a tach but am looking to get one of those inferred ones to actually measure the speed. and as the experts here have posted on the subject, shifting is a easier... Thanks Ford Barn Experts...
