    In response to Mr. Sinister

Finally got a chance to mess with it earlier. Tried the curb speed screw and it would increase the idle in park, but not really anything in gear. I would put it back in neutral and it would go back to idling at 950 where I had it set unless I gave it a good rev. Figured something wasn't right, so I reset the float level so get a little more fuel trickling out, and reset the curb screw. That seems to have done the trick. Idling great in and out of gear now.
This carb is nothing short of amazing with the overall difference it's made. More power, better manners, and better fuel mileage due to less pedal effort at low speed. Throttle response is razor sharp now with the idle sorted, and it just takes a little blip of the throttle to spin the tires. People kept telling me a 750 was too big for this engine (11:1 350, Ported Performer RPM heads, big Comp roller cam). Shows what they know.
