ok this is what is happening. in the morning when i go to warm up the car i step on the gas pedal all the way before i crank the engine to reset the choke plate so that it is closed. so i turn on the car and it starts up normally at a higher rpm but after a while the idle it supposed to drop after it is warmed up but minw doesn't it stays idling at a higher rpm. when i put it into gear the rpms drop alittle but as go to shift while the car is momentarily in neutral the rpms will go back up. BUT then sometimes the choke will open up and the rpms will come down like ti is supposed too but the choke lever on the passenger will drop all the way down at the car dies on me. another problem is that i able to move the choke cap and the screws on the cap are tighten all the way. on eother thing is that i don't know what the choke wire looks like or where to find it someone told me it comes from the alternator but i can't find it can someone take a picture their car abd help me out please???? my car is a 1983 5.0 5/SPEED CAR WITH A 4180 HOLLEY!

Those 4180 Holley carbs are real bears. It's probably just tired and in need of a rebuild. Mine was acting similar so I bought a 4160 600 cfm. I've had it on for 3 years now and I love it.
