On the road again...with new A/C...but grumpy

Well, the DeLorean is FINALLY back on the road! I still need to make a few adjustments to the fascia screws as they are "dimpling" the fascia a bit. In other news, the car now has a revamped and retrofitted A/C system that now operates with R-134a!!!  Finally to have cool air in the car again on hot days!

The real issue though is the engine itself. The car fires up reliably, but cold starts are kind of rough and the car wants to idle at 1000 RPMs + change which is higher than the normal 900 RPMs. Not sure how to account for this increase, but it was worse at the proper fuel dwell setting, coming in at 1300 RPMs. Had to adjust the mixture to temporarily compensate until I can figure out the real cause.
