Re: 283 swap is done
The recommended RPM at idle for an automatic is 950 rpms'.
I have an edelbrock 600 on my 357 and I can get it to idle around 500, but I also have a manual, and the motor acts like crap when I take off from that low of an idle, so I set it to JUST under 1k and it seems allright.
Just keep fiddling with it, it will eventually go down to where you want it.
