Yes, I did read through the post, and started looking around for another distributor in my desperation. I'm like you in that I've absolutely ruled out all vacuum leaks. Tried a new manifold, totally disconnected the brake booster and PCV valve, and sprayed starter fluid everywhere, without ever affecting the high idle.

A total rebuild of my distributor didn't fix the problem either, although I don't have one that has a vacuum advance anyway. At this point, I just have to start blindly replacing parts, starting with the distributor.
