is your dashpot vacuum actuated?

basically, set all settings, air/fuel, idle, fast idle, as normal. Your running an automatic, your idle is probably around 700-800 RPM. Once set, then adjust the dashpot to the appropriate clearance from the linkage, probably 1/8 -1/16" as indicated in manual. If you have a vacuum operated dashpot, remove/block the vacuum line while setting the idle.
