3469, My first impression with your problem is the warm up regulator/CPR. The high idle is normally a vacuum leak or binding acceleration cable and mechanism, but just checking to see that they are all in order doesn't mean you don't have a vacuum leak. The old rubber hoses could be broken and rotted around the connections and there are 3 of them under the intake manifold. Also, the idle speed motor tube going into the lower part of the air flow metering body may not be tight fit and can leak a lot. Cat & exhaust glowing red to me would indicate to much fuel. Again, Warm up regulator.
