Ford 302 tuning problems

Hi I am hoping someone can help me.....

I have a newly rebuilt stock 302 in my Cobra with an Edelbrock1406 carb with electric choke. Overall the setup has less than 200 miles on it. It always seems to run rich, and always smells slightly of gasloine when it runs. i have leaned down the rods and jets one stage but its still the same. Also, (probably connected) the vacuum reading jumps all over the place when the engine is idling. On the road it seems to run OK with plenty of power, but the idle is erratic after its been at speed and the you take your foot completely off the gas Its timed at about 10 degrees and I have the vacuum advance and PCV connected. If I disconnect these it makes no difference. I have a stock distributor and coil etc

Anybody got any bright ideas??

Thanks in advance

John
