I had a similar problem once, and it turned out to be a vacuum leak...
the anti-afterburn hose was what got me (it's about a 3/8"-1/2" rubber line on the rear passenger side of the engine going from around the carb to the lower part of the intake manifold) damn thing is right near the exhaust manifold and there was a hole in it that I'd describe as HUGE..., because the hole was so large I couldnt' hear it like you would a smaller one...
I found it with a little carb/injector cleaner...

Spray starting fluid on all the vacuum lines to check for a vacuum leak...if the rpms increase, you've found the leak. Even a pinhole can be problematic. Otherwise, make sure the timing is set correctly and adjust the idle speed and a/f screw accordingly.
