In checking the throttle cable however, it does always return to full idle position. I think the idle issues I was having were due to the advance mechanism being stuck on the old distributor.
I can crank on it to full advance, and it sticks there, crank it back to "no advance", and it sticks there.
A new throttle cable, and new front decklid cable are a couple of things that are first on the list.
I think after my engine revved high enough to get the distributor to reach full advance, it just stuck there, until I blipped the throttle and got the advance to unstick and drop to it's idle timing position.
First things first.
I'm going to get the engine running, get the car so I can drive it, then work on fine tuning all the little things that are needed.
