Yes, that is correct.

It is part of the Tune-up. Here are the basic settings:
Quote:
Adjust carburetor at full operating temperature. Verify choke is fully open before adjusting
1971-1972 manual . : 750 best idle, then lean to 700 rpm
1971-1972 automatic: 780 best idle, then lean to 750 rpm
(check for 600 rpm in drive after adjustment)
1973 (all models). : 800 rpm leanest smooth idle
automatic. . . . . (check for 650 rpm in drive after adjustment)

Hi DD

My Car tend to die on Load (when i put it to the gear or when i put head lights on)not all the time but sometime
you can keep it start for any time but when you engage gear or put head light sometimes it will die

do you think that is with idle setup ?

thanks

Possibly, yes. It needs to be reset once a year.
