That is the case when warm the curb idle DOES NOT touch the cam. Yes it does increase and decrease when the screw is able to touch the cam. Also, 2 more things. I put a vacuum gauge on the truck at the intake and I am getting a sold 14 inches which seems a bit low to me. As I understand 22 to 16 inches is normal. Also, I have disconnected the cruise control linkage from the carb as it seemed to be pulling the accelerator back a little bit and i don't use it anyway.
