New carb, new problems.

I just bolted on a rebuilt quadrajet from holley that i ordered off of summit. bolted it on my 86 with the 305 and all hell broke loose. Idle is 3000 rpm, tap the gas to bring it down and the idle sticks where i take the revs up to??? now the car is flooded and won't crank.... why is this thing standing at 3000 rpm? anyone have similar problems or advice? thanks.

Re: New carb, new problems.

go to the sticky (https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/carb...e-rebuild.html) to Page 6C1-6, Figure 6C1-8, and turn the Fast Idle Adjustment Screw counterclockwise a 1/4 turn.
