Hi Bricksters!

Quick question on my 80 B21F/A Cam:

I run the timing at about 16BTDC/36 total, which increases the idle to 1200-1400. I have the idle adjustment knob screwed in all the way, and I've done a cursory vacuum leak check.

Is there a way to lower the idle other than retarding the timing back to spec?

Many thanks!
