As the title says (the idle is around 950/1000) but it doesn't drop down to that very fast, it is almost like driving a vehicle with a sticky throttle. I have just installed a new (rebuilt by Jeff Bowlsby) relay board and cleaned up my grounds and cleaned the engine compartment. Any ideas what is going on?

Some things that come to mind as possible causes:

Decel Valve sticking, hooked up wrong, or mis-adjusted.
Vacuum leak.
Advance in the distributor is sticking.
Vacuum advance/retard hooked up incorrectly.
