RE: IML: 66 Imperial IDLE Quality

["J D" <teacherspouse@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you look at the cars from GM in the 80's they were equipt with a "Idle 
kicker".  When you turned on the A/C there was a solinoid(sp?) that would 
bump the acclerator(at the carb) just enough to maintain idle speed(700-900 
rpm).  If you have made sure of all your vacum line are not leaking that may 
provide you with an idea.
