Go to the linkage that connects the throttle bellcrank to the IP. You'll notice that the threaded rod that connects to two ends is threaded such that you can loosen the jamb nuts at each end, and then turn the center rod to make the assembly longer or shorter.

You need to adjust yours till the idle comes down to what you want.

While you're at it, have someone hold the pedal to the floor and you make sure the throttle is going full stroke. Adjust the linkage accordingly.

Hope this helps.

I've seen some trucks that required reclocking the throttle shaft to get an acceptable idle.
