Thanks for the great info guys. I wasn't getting notified of the replies.

I do set idle with vacuum gauge, I may need to check again as I set the curb idle in gear (yes AT) but mixture screws were done in park. They are 1.75 -2 turns out. It runs, starts and drive excellent with snappy response. I built the engine, only has 500 miles on it, small cam., 068 roller

Since all seemed fine I checked the rod coming up from the stove. I opened the loop a little more giving it more tension. It seemed to do the trick. I'll have to play with it later this afternoon.

I have the choke plate set to 3/16". My understanding on the plate adjustment has the plate go full closed when engine is cold and you depress the pedal. When the engine starts it's on high idle and the plate is then at spec, in my case its at 3/16. It does go to full open when warm.
