Idle keeps going up
Getting the bugs out of my new 427 small block. Having trouble keeping the idle where I want it. Just noticed it keeps going UP only. Wondering if it's due to the engine slowly getting broken in, therefore less friction, and so the idle keeps going up with the same amount of idle fuel?

I've heard of this problem before with Edelbrock carbs. It could be that the return spring is too weak to return the linkage to the idle postition. Can you move the linkage to the idle position manually to make it idle where it should ? I would give their tech line a call (877-888-7504), they are usually pretty helpful with diagnosing a problem.
