Hi Steven,

having the breather lines go straight in the carbs (getting them dirty 
inside) I routed the line instead going into that center port on the 
intake manifold going through an off the shelf PCV valve. Most of my 
effort up to this point has been trying to eliminate vacuum leaks in 
the part of the system. "

You have done well providing information about the problem.  The one 
thing you didnt mention is at what point the problem started.  For 
instance, did the car run just fine before you made the above change 
you mentioned?  If that is the case then you might switch back 
temporarily to the way it was to either eliminate or pinpoint the 
problem.  Vacuum leaks will cause the engine to idle faster.

I am sure others will have additional suggestions.
