idle gradually increases

hello, i have a 1985 ford b-700 with a 370-2v, the problem that i am having is that after the engine runs for about 5 mins or so or gets warmed up the idle will gradually increase, i had the carburetor rebuilt and this problem has been going on after that was done. i was wondering what could be causing this?

thanks

vacuum leak, or the timing curve on the dizzy isn't advancing it the way it should. Could be that the Vacuum advance isn't working
