It WILL IDLE!!!
OK....figured there was a chance the rebuilt Roc QJ might be the problem (thanks BOB), so dismantled the orig carb, cleaned it thoroughly, blew it out again, replaced the accel pump, a couple of easy to get to gaskets, blew it out again, put it on, and WHAM!!!! Idles fairly smoothly at about 800-850 rpm....Its a good day...as long as it lasts. Vacuum system still isnt working, so off to purchase a vacuum gauge. Still havent checked timing, or points. But shes sounding pretty good to me!! Thanks again for all the helpful ideas, more questions to follow!

It has a gauge on it and its great for troubleshooting a Corvette
Autozone has a decent one (made of metal) for $50
Well worth it
