Aaron:
You might want to check those bypass valves. There's a good chance you've
got a large vacuum leak which will cause a very high idle. Even after I
rebuil my cars I had to block the valves off completely on my '69 TR6 in
order to bring the idle down to a manageable level. It sure sounds like a
vacuum problem somewhere.
Good luck,
Walt Fogle
