<VV> Low idle speed

[Stephen Upham]

I adjusted the carbs (new rebuilt) according to the '65 manual.  The  
idle was very low.  I adjusted the swivel on the throttle rod to the  
tranny to lengthen it.  I then used the Unisyn to balance the carbs  
(unorthodox method without disconnecting the crossover) and adjusted  
the idle screws.   I was able to get it to stay idling (and  
balanced), but you can tell that it is still too low.  I need to get  
a tack on it and get some readings, but that can't happen until  
tomorrow because of a word with four letters that starts with "w".   
What check list should I run through to isolate the problem?

BTW, went to the local burger drive in/antique/modified/classic car  
hangout last night.  Got a lot of compliments from the bikers and  
others there about the car (no other classic cars there as the  
gathering of classics happens tonight).
