This is for timing http://www.muscularmustangs.com/timing.php For the idle there is a screw on the TB that adjusts the amount of air going into the car for idle. Just use that.

Oh yeah adjust idle while the car is on so that you can go look at the Tach and see where you are at.

Yeah but it seems like the idle will not stay consistant now.
