You really need to check the t-stat. If it's taking a long time to warm up, that totally screws up proper operation of your engine and you'll get nasty emissions.
Also, the idle is way high. Our 440 idles about 610 RPM; your 360 should idle about 700 RPM when warm.
The 2210/2245 are the series of carbs I was talking about from my '75 with 360. Give me a minute; I have the service manual around here somewhere.
In the meantime, I have a service note on those carbs. For proper operation, you need to put a dab of epoxy on them. Something about air or gas leaking…I can't remember now, it's been so long, but here's the pic:
Found the manual - here's the download link:

I am drooling over the 65 pages of info in that thing. Omg.
After seeing this this afternoon i took a pic of the ca carb, the point it shows to fix is evidently sealed off? In this one.

I am certainly going to spend tomorrow (technically today) analyzing/comparing vacuum diagrams.
