Your idle should be set when in drive and hand brake on so the motors under gear box load

From my experiences on my 253 & tri combo it has been one of the following:
(1) All initial timing must be with the dizzy vacuum removed and plugged. So get the points and plugs right too at this time.
(2) the throttle and idle mix must be set with car
