Fast idle controller or the like?

Fast idle controller or the like?
I've seen that some diesel engines have so called "High idle kit". That would be perfect if I was able to find one for my Magnum engine.
Even if I could get the engine to idle up a few hundred RPM, from its normal idle rpm, it would be sweet.
BTW this is for my on board air setup, in case that matters. I decided it is too risky to trust some custom pulley I cobble together and so I think the better way to get where I want to go is by controlling engine RPM.

Technically speaking bi-directional scan tools can set the engine RPM for testing purposes but that's not really a feasible option. Also, it might not work on pre-OBD II vehicles. As the 2nd gens are still using a conventional throttle cable maybe look into hand throttle solutions. They are somewhat common in the Jeep world to raise the idle for winching or onboard air compressors.

An old bike thumb shifter.........perhaps ala Deore, Deore DX or Deore XT 7 speed works perfectly. Bonus points for one without detents or with the little switch to eliminate detents for full friction mode. You'll have to run some shifter housing and a cable thru the firewall.
If you can't source an old thumb shifter, a brake lever will work, you'll just have to find a way to hold it at a given "squeeze". A small strap or rubber band will do, and you'll figure out just the right length of said strap or band. Local bike shops will GIVE you old brake levers for free, just ask politely if you can pillage their scrap bin. Brake cables and housing are slightly bigger than shifter cables, but not enough to matter for ease of routing I'd think.
