If your throttle body isn't worn out the Bentley procedure  works
just fine.  If the throttle body *is* worn and after using the
Bentley method it doesn't close with the engine running, clip an LED
test light - *not* an incandescent - or less desirably a voltmeter
into the white lead on the harness connector.  Run the engine and set
the switch so that it reliably closes (light goes out) when you
*slowly* let the throttle close.  Slamming it shut doesn't
count.  Alternatively unplug the harness connector and use a
continuity checker on the switch plug contacts, looking for
continuity when you slowly let the throttle close.

But if you have to do it that way, it means the setting can't
possibly be exactly correct, it's jut the best you can manage.  The
procedure for the one-switch throttle body is on page 24.59, and the
spec is that the switch should not close with a .005 feeler under the
idle stop, and it must close with a .0015 feeler.  Or as they say it,
it should close between .002 and .004 inches from the idle
stop.  Again, only slowly counts.
