Received and installed a new rear intake manifold from Goodparts yesterday. Started the car this evening and it dropped down to an acceptable idle.
I was trying to make the old manifold work, but the balancer and heater return hoses just didn't allow for the necessary alignment of the throttle shafts. Without any adjustment, the new manifold allows the shafts to fully return without binding.
Brosky's suggestion on the original lighter weight throttle shaft connectors was a lot of help. The reproduction ones are too rigid for the triple carb set up(at least for mine).
Richard Good is great to do business with. He has been very helpful several times during this engine build.
Now I can start driving the car!!!
