Replacement Dashpot.
The dashpot on my car was fried, at one point I drilled out the fill valve and refilled the stock one and that worked for about a year. But it slowly leaked out and went flat again. The replacement from Ray, $95.00
So I ordered a mini-shock from Master-Carr. There are two that look like they would work. One has adjustable dampaning and is about $50.00 and the other is not adjustable for about $35.00. I got the adjustable one.
Now it's not a perfect replacement, they are threaded 12x1mm and the bracket is 12x1.25mm I just ran a tap through the bracket. And they are only rated for 175F so we will see how it does over time.
Now my decl. backfiring is gone and the on off throttle is much smoother.

When my stock dashpot failed, it did just the opposite -- rapid rpm drop to low idle when lifting off the pedal. Instead, check your throttle cable adjustment after the engine bay is good and hot. It might be causing the high idle and the slow rpm drop if the cable doesn't have enough slack.
