Rick,
First, I agree with everything Doug says.
Second, I've been there. If you have a non-stock configuration, it may take quite a bit of advanced tuning to make things right.
It may not be a good a good assumption that your car has a mild cam.
Rich idle, low vacuum and "a cam" makes me suspect that your idle speed has been adjusted to the point that you've got too much transition slot exposed on your carb.
The only way I know to check the transition slot is to remove the carb and check the vertical vs. the horizontal height of the transition slot below the throttle blade. If it's noticably taller than it is wide it needs to be 'fixed.' Ideally is should be square. Ask us what 'fixed' means; it's not entirely obvious.
It's easier to remove the carb than the entire intake.
What do you see?
