Are you sure you used the correct baseplate gasket? I used the wrong baseplate gasket on a 800DP once and it acted as you describe?
72 RR, Pump gas 440, 452s, 3800 lbs, Corked, ET Radials,. 11.33@117.72.
Same car, bone stock 346s, 9.5 comp, baby solid. 12.24@110.

You got a spacer under the carb? I have a plastic 4 hole spacer.Put it on upside down once so the passageways that allow the gas to dribble down from the idle circuit werent there.They were on the intake side.No idle.

Vacuum is 13" - 14". I'm going to pull it apart and check gaskets in the morning.
With that much vacuum you shouldn't have any trouble getting it to idle with the throttle blades in the correct location. I'm guessing you have some other problem with the engine. Maybe crossed up plug wires, fouled plugs, etc.
When you have a basic tuning issue like this you need to double check all the basics. Float level, vacuum leaks, firing order, etc.
