Info on high idle

Found this post High Idle When Engine Warm mentions checking the decel valve. Now to find that and check, turning down the idle worked but will it start when cold?

And look at this one High Idle CIS issue has more info regarding the decel valve.

Finally got the car running correctly 2/16/2009

Finally solved the stumbling problem. Turned out I had a couple of wires crossed. The purple and green wires that come from the MSD that connect to the "green" wire to the distributor were switched. At the moment don't even know how there are set now :) but I switched the way there were and presto it ran great.

But now, 2/20/2009 I suddenly get a high idle about 2000rpm once the car starts up.

More setting mixture, with dwell meter

This thread confusing mixture and timing adjustments has more info on setting the mixture. Info on reading a dwell meter to check. But still where is the test port?
A thread Mixture Adjustment Confirmation yet more info on details of checking mixture with dwell meter.

Setting mixture another method

This thread http://forums.pelicanparts.com/showthread.php?t=437101&highlight=CIS+rich has this info on setting mixture.
"right to richen (CW). always turn it from lean to rich for final adjustment. if you do not have a way to check CO, here is how i set mine. turn it CW until it surges at idle then back off a tad. blip the throttle and if the RPM's dip down then come back up to idle, it is too rich. turn it CCW about half a turn then back CW a little less than how far you turned it CCW. blip the throttle again. repeat until it no longer dips down when the RPM's come back down. mine is set so it has just a hint of wanting to dip down when i let off the gas. drive it and check again. i later had mine checked and it was dead on 3%." by T77911S
