Also, having idle rpm around 1000 or higher, means the water pump (being centrifugal, and not postive displacement) will be more efficient,and
provide more cooling, when you are at idle at a stop light.  So will your alternator I suspect.

idle at 1100 rpm...  hmm   isn´t that a little high ?  When I let the engine idle so fast....  it will make a hart  hit into my rear end...when I go into  REVERSE..

also I need to modify the advance curve in the Distributor.......   now the curve begins @ 900-950 rpm....
