So all was good before you switched from a Q-jet to the Edelbrock? If so, wouldn't that be the "smoking gun"? TV cable adjusted properly?
Just some random thoughts from an old guy that I've learned the hard way...

i have adjusted the tv cable theee times and I feel like I have it where it should work right, but I'm still using the factory linkage bracket. So I just picked up an aftermarket adjustable linkage bracket, hopefully get a chance to throw that in tonight. I did check the solenoid. T putting 12v to the A wire while under there, I did hear a click. Couldn't duplicate it, I guess it doesn't disengage electrically?
The smoking gun was changing to a non-smog carburetor without properly addressing the tcc in the first place. When I realized it I tried putting manifold vacuum to the vacuum switch but couldn't make it work. And the rest of the original wiring was a mess, idk where the factory tcc wiring even went. So we'll see if the new bracket makes a difference.
