You have to put EB idle specs in perspective. The C4 wasn't available in Broncos until '73, and by then idle speed and timing were determined by emissions requirements, not what a good running engine needs. Other Ford cars and trucks had 289-302s and C4s years before emissions laws were the primary determination of tune up specs. 1968 specs, when the 2bbl 302s were introduced in cars are; 625 RPM for a standard trans and 550 in drive for automatics. The only problem with these specs is the fact that Ford started retarding the crank sprocket 4 degrees I think in 1972. This hurts low RPM somewhat. The early or roller timing sets give you a more crisp running engine, and always a good idea with nylon sprockets.
The same idle solenoid you have does work on Holleys. The bracket is a little hard to find, but I do have one. It's Holley Part#20-29. Using the '68 specs will eliminate any need for a solenoid in preventing dieseling.
