might be a good time to rebuild your carb.

Sounds like your timing is off if it runs when key is off. Or just shut it off in gear...

Ok took it all apart this afternoon. Blow the carb with some compressed air. Did a few other things. Notice the line going to my brake booster was kinked. Replaced filter as well. Put in all together again, seems to be working ok now idle is back down to 800. Will run it tonight and see what happens. Thanks again guys.

I think he just had it rebuilt. I'd definetly check the timing again, and make sure your fuel line is not too close to the headers.
