I'm running a '58 Sprite with a mild cam 948 (11:1) and everything seems ok
except setting the idle speed. Have followed the shop manual synchronization
method and, basically, it wants to idle at 2000 rpm and not much lower. It fires
evenly and feels gutsy without any miss - it just has (what seems to me) a high
idle.
I guess my question is to 948 racers: What (warm) idle rpm should generally be
expected with a race 948? Is this cam telling me it needs a certain rpm for the
engine to breathe properly at idle?

Pete,
I raced Coopers and Cooper S's from 1965 to 73. I can probably dig out the
old homologation forms for some of these and the GCRs for the others.
Otherwise, my long term memory is real good, but I can't remember what was
for lunch today. Anyway, I think I can help tell you what was legal, and
what was done back then.
Chris Gross,
Presently vintage racing a 60 Bugeye.
