I drove a 'Street Car' with a engine that had 5" of vacuum at idle, I had to play with the idle circuit and richen it up as less signal means less fuel going thru the idle circuit.
Outside of that deal the engine/car drove fine with the 4:33 gears in the back and the 4 speed. So sometimes GETTING THE ENGINE TO IDLE, PERIOD takes a bit of time if you are a novice with carbs but I tend to agree I never really worried about what the actual number was and tried to dial it in with a camshaft change.
Course I did not have a auto trans or a a/c system or vacuum doors on headlights to open or close, etc.
