It may have been engine-temp related. Unless the linkage from the throttle 
pedal goes to the center of the engine with two tie-links- one going to each 
head, the idle will change as the engine gets hot and expands, pulling on a 
single steel tie-link. This was found on one Cleveland with IR-EFI; 
aluminum heads expanded, changing the length of his single tie-bar link and moving 
the idle up by as much as 500 rpms. He had to fabricate a thick steel strap 
running from one head to the other to get a stable idle. FWIW- J DeRyke
