    You can add a half turn, shouldn't cause any issue.. but what does your new manual say??? LOL..

    And don't forget, these cars when brand new needed a few minutes to "warm up" before they would operate "correctly"... it was very common to start the car and wait 3 or 4 minutes before dropping it in gear. Or it would stall.

    What does the manual say for a cold - high (fast) idle? Some of them were as high as 1400 or 1500 rpm. Also read up on the choke break ( choke pull off) make sure it isn't pulling to far and undoing the choke completely! It needs to pull a set distance to get the engine enough air and keep the idle cam on the top step.

    Again, it should be in that manual.
