It sounded about right when idling in your video, any lower and it would be too low. Your TC might be dragging...
That is one of the reasons I am not too concerned right now. The back pressure will change some things. I wanted it close, so I could at least drive it into the exhaust shop. I will probably trailer it there, about 8 miles, most of it on the interstate. I don't really like driving it with no exhaust. Now once I have the exhaust on? I may want to drive it home. Reminder, put another 5 gallons of gas in it. I also need to check my fuel gauge it was working on the bench and I have a new sender. I just need to make sure my wire is tight on the sender, and my ground strap has a good ground.Not much point fine tuning until after the exhaust is completed. No back pressure can do funny things.
It idles along at about 10 mph and lugs the engine at a stop in gear.

Sick, man. What a thing of beauty!New fuel tank in. Freshly aligned. Front Grill in. Taking it to work today. Runs beautifully. Only issue so far is my choke over centers and won’t return on its own. Original carburetor, shafts are a little loose in the bores. I just need to remember to re-set it.
Smooth ride to work.
Now I need to finish the trim bits.

I hope they're able to fix the bezels - what a drag!!
I run into those situations sometimes with regards to parking... one has to do what one has to do!
Enjoy your car - looking forward to seeing all the final trim assembly!
Is your choke thermostat working? It should pull off after being warmed up.New fuel tank in. Freshly aligned. Front Grill in. Taking it to work today. Runs beautifully.
