Engine idles high even when warmed up . Idles at about 8 or 10. You can reduce it by revving the engine it will go to a normal idle of 6

Check for a vacuum leak. If none of the hoses are leaking, check your timing. I'm not sure, but I believe it should be set at 6-degrees BTC. (Double check that)

If none of these are your problems, write back and we'll go from there. (Things will get slightly more complicated)
