Thanks-prefilter & overflow valve

Since buying my 1997 2500 4x4 I have done what I thought it needed. New hoses, belt , fuel filter, air filter etc. Reading this forum has helped me and saved money. Yesterday I changed overflow valve, pre filter and fuel filter (not really needed but did it anyway) and it made a LOT of difference in throttle response. Now if I hit the pedal in dirt or on grass it spins the tires so quick I have to back off / on the road the pedal that gave me 60 MPH is now 70MPH. THANKS to you guys for sharing your knowledge.
How I need to adjust idle and want to know is 750 on the dash tach good or is it trial and error.

Idle adjustment Instructions

The dash tach is very inaccurate at lower rpms.
I go by ear.
