RE: stock idle
i think mine was about 800. just adjust the throttle stop on the bottom of your throttle body.

RE: stock idle
Mine'a an 87 and it idle's real low, around 500-600, but it still runs alright. I've had it stall out on me a couple times just sitting there, but it hasn'd caused any problems yet.

RE: stock idle
there is a little screw thing on the throttle body that you turn to raise and lower it
