Hi everyone,
So i finally got my Mustang running after 3 years of sitting and a partially rebuilt engine! I'm extremely happy and it sounds awesome! It took so long because this is my first time really tearing apart the top end of an engine and i'm still a novice when it comes to mechanics. But i'm very proud and thankful of everyone on this forum for helping me along the way. The only thing is that the car idles very high right now. I have an Edelbrock 650cfm carburetor on it and i'm pretty sure my linkage is all connected correctly. My guess is that it is the idle speed screw but i'm not sure. I'm sort of afraid to run the car with its high idle for more than 10-20 seconds because it hasn't ran in 3 years. How can I lower the idle speed?
