Re: Quadrajet help

Spray carb cleaner around the primary throttle shaft on the driver's side and see if the idle speed changes. You likely have a worn bore where the throttle shaft goes through the base plate. If there is a vacuum leak there, it will be covered up by the richer mixture when it is on the choke.
