Truck drops 1,000 rpm's when put into gear(video)

So I've had this rather annoying problem with my truck ever since I bought it. And I'm not sure what to do to fix it. Whether cold or at operating temp, the truck will idle about 2,000 rpm in P/N more and at 1,000 if it was in gear. I know typically the rpm's will drop a little when put into gear, but this seems like just too much. In the video below, the truck was running around 190 degrees(Tstat opened and dropped it to 175) with the choke open. I had the rpm's set as low as I can go in gear before it would stall out every time. I can't get it lower than 1,000 while in gear. When out of gear, it just sounds like the truck is on a high idle. The carb is a year old holley street avenger 670, barely has any miles on it. And the only thing I've ever adjusted on it was the curb idle screw. And if I remember, I believe I had it set to 12 deg advanced. Don't know if it matters any, but It has a 3k stall converter(supposedly). Anybody know how to fix this? This is really the only current problem I have with this truck And I hate it. Can't even hear the cam lope unless it's in gear. Would appreciate any help.
