My starter problems begin at 18, no problems so far at 16.

I haven’t seen anything that should limit distributor travel. I am going to try a different product. Morosso seems to make a quality kit. I’ll look deeper. Appreciate your help!

Oh gotcha. I was thinking you were in drive at that idle number. That make way more sense. I'd aim for a 600-650 idle in drive. I assume you have a carb as well? We're getting off topic (I like tuning talk haha) but when you tune the idle circuit for best manifold vacuum do it in drive with someone pressing the brakes.
