Hoon, Check out your throttle cable. it may be too tight. Another list
member, I can't remember who, answered this one for me about 4 months ago.
If your cable is too tight, the cable housing expands as the engine warms
and raises the idle.

Subject: idling question.
OK here's my simple question. how normal is it for the idle to waiver at
different rpms when at rest. When I start up, the idle is normal around
600-700. when going around in traffic it sometimes goes up to 1100 or even
1500 at rest. Is this normal? also when stuck in bumper to bumper traffic,
my idle slowly starts increasing. Is there someway to aleviate this
problem. Usually sitting in traffic for about 30-40 min. the idle will go
up to 1800. Once I start moving again, it goes back down. Will flushing the
radiator core do this, is this an idle mixture thing, or any other answer
you can come up with. Thanks.
'67 1600.
