Somebody HELP ME. I have a 383 2 barrel, I recently converted to a 4 barrel, I have a freshly rebuilt edelbrock 1406, it's a 600 cfm 4 barrel with electric choke, I have everything hooked up properly, no leaks or open ports, I've sprayed brake clean around the intake/carb base and there was no variation in rpm, however if I hold the choke door shut, it goes from idling at 2500 rpm, down to between 1500-1000. Turning the idle screws does nothing, I blew compressed air through the circuit to clear it out. None of the linkage is obstructed either. I've messed around with the timing, and the rpm only goes down when I retard the timing to the point where the engine wont even rev. I find people on forums with the same issue, but can't seem to find a solution what the hell do I do?
Update: had to change the throttle cable routing completely because it wasn't long enough.
