idle speed??
With my job I sometimes have to idle my 1988 idi for several hours in the winter. My question is if I put a throttle lock of some sort on what rpm should I idle at to prevent "wett stacking"??? Also should I use some sort of a winter front?
Winter temps are 40 to -20
Thanks in advance.

You can use the fast idle solenoid as a idle speed increase mechanism.
Very easy...
Find a switched power from under your dash panel, run it to a switch, then the other side of the switch to the High Idle Solenoid on the Injection Pump... But cut the wire leading up to the high idle solenoid, and install a diode with band side facing towards the solenoid, then land your homemade idle circuit wire there (between the diode and solenoid). This will keep you from feeding power back into the circuit and also keep you from engaging the timing advance when you manual control is engaged. But the system will still function just like stock, ie. no change will be seen or felt.
go to local radio shack and get a (this is from memory) 4001 diode... I can't seem to remember the part number on the diode but it has a 4001 if I remember correctly...
