You do not need a Tack to adjust the idle, for now just get the motor fully warmed up, check that the choke is open and set the idle as low as you can with a soid stable idle with the car in gear .

Then check that you get no off idle stumble and your good for now.

With the Cam it sounds like you have a 750 rpm idle speed should be had in gear no sweat as long as the Carb if functioning normal.

Also if your running a Holley Carb any readjustment of the idle speed will call for a readjustment of the pump arm, and this assumes it was adjusted right in the first place of course!

My money's on a shot U joint in regards to your vibration issue.
