Chevy C10 Carb Problem

Thanks to Brian and Tinman for their tranny help...it seems that 7 years will just manke a tranny stick in gear a little bit ;)

 

Next up...the engine starts RIGHT up with no pumping, and running on a half tank of 7 year old gas, but it idles WAY to high. It doesn't have a tach but my guess is it's running at about 3000-3500rpms. At this point, it's also blowing a lot of blue smoke, but that may be from the ATM fluid I dumped down the sparkplug holes a few weeks ago to get the engine rotating :eek: ...that I'm still not sure about.

 

I've backed the idle adjustment screw out all the way, and the throttle linkage won't back off anymore. However, the 4bbl Rochester carb still won't stop revving. Can someone help me here? Is there an internal control screw or other metering device I'm missing here?
