the problem was mechanic error. I replaced the front two bars parallel instead of crossing them. Now everything works great. Note to self, do not do valve adustment in garage when temperature is above 100!!!
next air filter bushings, and motor mounts. (I may pay someone to do the latter.)

Had to put toe under gas and pop up to get it to stop revving? (I hope that's a word). Took another look at everything, and determined that the accelerator pipe was in the wrong hole on the manual shut off lever. Fixed that, and still have the issue. Now I am thinking it may be the cruise control. Before I drive home tonight, I may remove the fuse for the cruise. But thought I would ask for other thoughts before I tinker with it. Tach goes up with acceleration, but will not drop unless I do the toe thingy.
