[T3] won't idle


just had my timing set by the local air cool shop the other day.
(1969 AT stock f.i.)

now it won't idle when it's warmed up.  asked the service manager if they'd
reset the idle (thought they'd maybe set it at 850rpm as you would on a MT),
but he said they never touched the idle.  (but then how could they set the
timing right if they didn't set the idle right.....).
he then suggested i look for an air leak (anywhere in particular?) by spraying
carb cleaner around a bit.  sound like a good idea?

he said it was 3 degrees off before they set it.  is that a lot?

besides not idling when warm, the car runs fine, really well in fact.

thanks for your ideas.
