No one mentioned ignition issues. If you're running an MSD distributor with the GM style advance system, then the advance weights may be sticky and not returning fully as the RPM drops. This will give the high idle speed and not be responsive to the idle screw setting. Lube the pivot points for the advance weights and see what happens.
This is not to discount the fuel problems.
