What's your initial? More (15-20) may help with both. I'm assuming you've opened the idle mix screws to no avail. How many turns is the idle speed screw opened from the throttle just closed position

which purple shaft cam?
remove the caps off the metering rods...start engine and watch metering rods...are they sucked down into the jet?...or bouncing up and down...?
if the answer is yes...you need to change the step spring to lighter one to allow the metering rods to sit down into the jets while idling.

With the car idling loosen the metering rod covers and swing them aside. Are the pistons and rods dancing up and down, or possibly just up. If so the metering rod springs are to stiff. It would be like a Holley with the power valve open at idle. Edelbrock makes springs that you can adapt. My race car idles with Edelbrocks with a 285@.050" cam with no issue. Doug
