Fast idle

83', 300, 4sp

What would cause the engine to idle at around 1200 rpm after it warms up? If I quickly step on the accelarater and let off the engine slows down, also, if I shut the engine off and than restart the engine idles at 750 rpm until lightly step on the accelarater than its back to 1200. Any ideals?
