Fixed, this is embarrassing but to help others I will explain.
When I rebuilt my Edelbrock carb, the kit only came with an open gasket. I was not happy putting this on a 4 hole intake. My local supply store had a 4 hole but the holes were to small in the rear. So open gasket it was.
Tonight I removed the carburetor one more time. I wanted to see if I could see an imprint all around the gasket see if it was sealing. Then I look at the intake design and thought heck that won’t seal.
I take the 4 hole gasket and a razor blade and enlarge the rear holes. Put it back together and it runs perfect. Choke wide open and idles.
