Edelbrock performer not performing

It's probably my fault, I like to ruin my car and then complain about it. I took the carb off Sunday to give it a thorough cleaning inside and out and for some reason when I put it back on it didn't want to idle at the proper RPM. I don't have a tach and I'm terrible at guessing on RPM, but it was significantly faster than when I took it off. I traced it to the linkage that engages the secondaries, for some reason they were rubbing where they hadn't before, so I bent it a bit for clearance (milimeters).

But that wasn't the problem. It did help when I clearanced the pieces, but it's still far above normal idle. I checked the butterflies to be sure they were closing properly and I think they are (I took them off to clean them too, but I'm positive they're back on right because I did one at a time to prevent screwing them up). It's also not the idle speed screw, the throttle linkage isn't even resting on it at idle.

I cannot for the life of me figure out what got messed up and how it did. If anyone has any advice (other than buying a new carb) I would really appreciate it.
