The last annoying things are, when I come to a stop, it’s idling at 1200, but if I kick the throttle it goes back down to 800. It did not do this with the previous carb.

To Steve’s point: I drive it for about 20 miles (local). When I shut it down, it dieseled a little. And once it was warmed up, it took a bit more cranking to get it started. Should I move the timing to 38 (with vacuum advance disconnected)?
It's probably dieseling because the idle is sticking at too high an rpm. Fix the hanging throttle and go from there. Auto car should be about 750 in park and 500 in gear, stick car should be about 650-750 at idle with stock components. 800 is too fast.
