FI Pump Dry In eBay Beast

The Engine Barely Ran And Had A Variety Of Interesting Noises. One Of Them Sounded Like A Bad Ring Or Loose Lifter In The Middle Of The Engine. I Had Read In The Forum That The FI Pump Had An Oil Fill And Dip Stick - So I Lifted The Little Red Cap And Seeing No Oil I Added About 4 oz.- On Checking The Dipstick All This Really Nasty Black Sooty Oil Diluted With Alot Of Bad Smelling Gasoline Came Out The Dipstick Hole. After Allowing This Stuff To Drain (Car In Steep Driveway)- I Started It Up And It Ran Much Better. The Engine Will Now Accelerate More Smoothly From Idle To 2500 rpm - Where Before It Would Only Do It Roughly And Usually Stall 3 Out Of 4 Times. The Engine Has A Smoother Idle Now But It Idles At 500-600 rpm And Much Less Black Smoke Too!
Oh And Half Of The Noises Went Away Too.

This Car Has A Pre 1963 220 SE engine With The 2 Plunger Pump.
The ??
Is there A Drain Plug For The FI Pump??
Is There A Filter For The FI Pump??

What Should The Idle Speed Be??
And How Do You Adjust It ??
What Should I Look For To Check Out This Pump??
