SOLVED! 318 2500-3000 rpm idling issue. Don't think its a regular vacuum leak. Swapped 2 intakes, 2 carbs ,and 6 different gaskets still no luck.

It did it through the carb once or twice blipping it at first but as I revved it up to 4500rpm and back down a few times it seemed to clear up and stat running better.

Just a standard in car tach on the coils. Now that's it's set right it's reading far far more accurately immediately inclined to believe it.
Sounds like once You get the carb "back to normal" & the timing set, it just needs a good break-in run...
