You have a leak somewhere, did you torque the manifold bolts in the right order?? (60in-Lb's-> then 80in-Lb's-> than 100in-Lb's)

Also check your manifold gasket and make sure it is not kinked or bent.

take it apart and put it back together carefully, that's probably it.

People always overlook the rubber cup around the oil cap that gets caught
when putting back on the upper plenum

^+10000 on that I remember when I did that and my car sounded like a plastic bag caught against a fan. Also if you have a spray bottle you can mist the plenum to see where the leak is comming from.

I have used starter fluid to find vac leaks. Spray VERY short bursts around the plenum. If the idle goes up, you have found your leak.

I usually use carb cleaner because it evaporates and doesn't leave a mess.

SF is nothing but either with a tiny bit of oil.
