Hi,

I just replaced my points with an XR700 Crane electronic ignition. I'm new at all this, so I really didn't know what I was doing. I put it in, put in some new sparkplugs and gapped them at 40. I then started the car, and it was real rough. I gave the distributor a little turn here and there, and it seems to work pretty fine. The thing is, though, my idle is up around 1500. Additionally, I don't notice any difference in performance. It's basically as it was before, except now I have this fast idle.

Ideas?

Thanks.
Aaron
