Yeah, Quadrajet. I’ve only tuned an idle circuit once, on a 72 Pontiac 350, but did it in Park. Why Drive? I wasn’t planning on tuning this one since I know it’s pulling 15” vacuum at idle, and there’s virtually no exhaust smell in the shop when the door is shut and the truck’s running. I’m a novice at tuning but am finding it enjoyable. Just ordered a Moroso kit, should see it before the end of the week.
