Completed rebuild on 1974 914 2.0 L. All fuel and vacuum lines are also new. Engine idle varies between 1000 and 2000 rpm every few seconds what could cause this?

Thank for all the feedback on the idle searching problem. The searching starts as the cold idle ends. The fluctuation is back and forth every few seconds. I have not driven since rebuild. Only did the cam break in. I did clean the throttle body and distributor, but did not do any rebuilds on these items. I did just complete brake system rebuild and should be able to drive soon. Some had mentioned the rubber vacuum which is new. I also tried adjusting the ECU, but not sure of the proper technique

Beautiful Paint Job - do you have a color number? Is it an original color?
