Tach Needle Doesn't Bounce while Cranking... help?

Hey guys (1990 SPG)
Well I'm slowly getting to the bottom of this slow starting problem. Replaced the fuel pump and the check valve, helps with the starting alot. Now it's just taking an extra second or two. Plus after the car gets warm//hot the idle slowly creeps up to 1,200 RPMS. If I turn the headlights on, or hit the brakes (moving or not) the idle will lower slightly. But that's only when the engine is warm. Initially the idle is fine.
I was reading the board here about watching the tach needle jump when cranking the car. I just went out, started it up, the needle moved about 1/32" of an inch, just one time, very quickly, as I first started cranking, after that it didn't move until the car was fully started. It basically didn't move unless you want to get picky.
Does this indicate I need a need Hall Effect sensor? A new distributor? A new ignition module? What should I check for?
Really appreciate all your advice guys, you've saved me hundreds of times already ( :
Thanks!
