1954 Super Wasp idle speed

Since I've got the car I have observed something with the engine's idle speed.

The idle speed is fine when the auto transmission is geared to either Drive, Low, Neutral and Reverse, but seems to be a bit higher when geared on Park. I wonder if this higher idle speed can be a cause for the trans. front seal (between the torque converter and the transmission) to leak. If so, what do I need to adjust the idle speed to prevent such problem . Any thoughts are welcome.

The engine is a 262 Twin-H and I think the carbs are WA-1 (correct me if I'm wrong).

Thanks in advance, 

Max

    most idle speeds will be higher in neutral and park since there is no load applied, idle should drop when in gear. If your front seal is leaking, its either a bad seal or bad contact area that the seal face is against.
