In my 67 Olds 98 it "use" to be in "high stall" at idle so little "Old Ladies" didn't have to have to put much pressure on the brake pedal at red lights and so the car wouldn't want to "creep.". As soon as one started giving it gas it went to "lower" stall which help move the car faster and smoother. When one kick it down into passing gear it went back into high stall probably to let the engine rev up quicker and downshift for faster accelleration in passing. Kennibell use to sell a "timer," primary use was drag racing. It was controlled by using brake light electric. I have my "switch-pitch" on a toggle switch. I leave the line on "high" stall, flipping the switch to low-stall at the 60' mark. My 60' time is 2 seconds. If I had the Kenni-Bell timer I would set it for 2 sec and after I leave off the brake, 2 sec's later, it would switch to high stall by itself. I leave mine in low-stall except when starting out. My car in fighting trim is a "slim" 4680 lbs. It's best is 14:18 @ 100mph.
