It's something like 450 rpm & no speed up when AC is on or in drive I looked to see if I plugged all the connections in & I installed a GM under hood lite from the junk yard it's so good & easy now I need to get dome lite working

That's strange.. does it idle rough at all? I know a friend of mine had idle problems because his plastic air intake piping was all cracked up and leaky.
