If your distributor advance mechanism is rusted or frozen up the 
centrifugal/vacuum advance would not occur and it would run better at 
speed the higher the idle setting. My car runs at 30degrees advance at 
4000 RPM with an idle setting of 10 (stock 948, My vacuum advance is 
broken). Put your timing light on it and rev it up and see if the 
advance mechanism is working properly it should advance as RPM 
increases. Otherwise you are losing out on power and fuel economy. 
Regards,
Peter.
