Have you got a vac guague? Check what the manafold vac is to determine if you have an air leak somewhere in the system (from behind the inlet valves to the back of the carb throats) making it run leaner.
I'd check that first.

Check the choke is operating properly. it's actuated by a small vacuum hose off the manifold and if it's not connected properly it will cause a high idle.
Otherwise as stated, check for vacuum leaks and check ignition timing.
