Another Edelbrock Thread

Ok, so about 2 weeks ago, I installed a new E-Performer 750 onto my 355. Been running really good until lately. The motor runs fine when cruising, but idle sucks. I'll sit there ata light and the rpms start at 1K and drop and dro and drop until the motor dies.

I have tried adjusting the idle mixture screws, but I never got any change in rpm, so I left it alone.

Also, the choke kills the motor. Instead of raising rpms, it severly drops and dies.

I have noticed the exhaust has been smelling rich. Will the idle mixture screws fix that or do I need to drop in leaner needles?

Thanks
