Bill,  While there a several things that could cause this (and I know you are 
a veteran) I suggest making sure both carbs are evenly balanced at idle and 
then use the 68-69 carb adjustment method which takes linkage slop into 
account.  Basically you adjust the linkage adjustment screws with a slip of paper 
between the stop and the screw and tighten the screw until just a firm drag is 
felt on the paper when it is pulled.  This adjusts the linkage/idle based on the 
slop unique to your car.  It has worked for me many times with all types of 
worn linkages.

Of course there are many other issues...............

That's John Moody's Westy if memory serves and I'm sure it will get your 
loved ones to the west coast and back just fine.
