choking holley

just recently had some problems with idle on my 351W motor. I have tried adjusting the idle but when the car warms up it starts to idle rough or too low. Could this be a electronic choke problem? and if so are they easy to replace? The carb is clean, new fuel pump, new gas tank, new fuel lines, and spark plugs.

How about choke adjustment? Turning the choke clockwise or counterclockwise will make it come off faster or slower. I don't remember which way is which. With the aircleaner box off, can you see if the choke opens at all within a resonable amount of time? With my choke in the standard position, it stayed closed for way too long. It would be idling fine, then if I left it alone, it would start loping and idle lower and lower till it would finally die.
