Edelbrock issue

Well I finally got the timing set enough to start up the engine. The issue now is when I start her up she idles at like 100 to 150 rpm then gradually gets up to idle speed. I have to give it heavy gas to keep from shutting off until it reaches idle. I thought when I start it up it idles high then tap gas pedal and goes down to idle speed. I must be doing something wrong
