When I fire up my Jimmy in the morning the choke starts the RPMs off at 1300. After a minute it jumps up to 1500 RPMs. Is this ok for a SBC when its cold? The carb is a Edelbrock 1406.
 
Mine on my Qjet usually runs about 1000-1100 startup and climbs up to around 1300-1400 as it warms up.
 
Take the air cleaner off. Standing infront of the truck . Looking at the carb on the left side is the choke. Up against the body of the carb is the high idle cam and a stop screw. counter clockwise will lower you RPM at high idle it doesn't take much adjustment. 1/8 of a turn may be plenty. I usualy adjust it down to about 950-1000 when warmed before tapping the throttle to drop the choke.
