Finnished My In Cabin Idle Contoller
This is the kind of stuff I do when I get bored.:D
As you can see there is an addition to my throttle linkages.
The idea was/is that when it's not cold enough for the choke to set the high idle cam on the carb the engine idles too low until it gets warmed up.
This in cabin controller allows me to manually set the idle rpm's anywhere from too low to 1,500 rpm's with a twist of the knob under the dash.
Sure, I could have used a push/pull type cable to do this on an electric choke carb but I wanted a finer control over it and a twist type control.
Now I can start the engine and a twist or two of the knob brings the curb idle up to wherever I want it between 500 and 1,500 rpm's cold idle with the choke off because of it not being cold enough to set it.
These tach pictures were taken within about 30 seconds of each other at cold idle.
The choke didn't set the high idle and the engine wanted to idle a about 600 rpm's until I gave the knob a clockwise twist and set it at 1,000 rpm's to warm up.
I can't help myself, as I have this thing about "One Off" on my car, and I love building things. :D
