MD Stuck High Idle

I have an 86 N/A and I just replaced the clutch and transmission on it and when I started the car the car ran like I was holding the gas to the floor and will not settle down. All the vacuum lines and electrical connectors are connected. The throttle cable and throttle plate are not stuck either. Is it just and adjustment issue? Please help

No, it will be something mechanical. Don't start adjusting stuff until you have figured out what is jammed.

Are you SURE the throttle cable isn't jamming up or wrapped around the shaft? Really sure?

Cruise control cable pulled tight?

Anything on the rear of the throttle body bent or jammed?
