RPM?

what should the idle speed be?
83 wagon but 80 non-feed back BDD carb, ignition upgrade, ECM Test in test mode.
Would any of that affect the idle speed, or should it be what the book calls for?  I can look that up.

I believe the book(Aftermarket) calls for 600. I usually leave it as low as 400 but if I leave it too low it causes some minor problems.
