Fast Idle Adjustment (FoMoCo Carburetor)

  1. Connect tachometer, remove air cleaner. With engine at normal operating temperature, set throttle valve tang on third step of fast idle cam (indicated by mark on cam).
    NOTE: Slightest touch of accelerator linkage will actuate throttle arm, returning it to original position.
  2. With throttle in above position, warm engine should now operate at a speed of 1900-2100 RPM. If adjustment is necessary, stop engine and bend throttle arm tang.
