Hi Angelo,
Expand on "complete top end job"?
If you mean intake refurbish, then it could be a mountain of various vacuum / false-air leaks. The idle can be set using a 6mm (???) socket on a long extension. The adjustment lives at the front of the t-body between the tubes. Reading your post doesn't indicate a simple idle adjustment to me, sounds like another issue - probably vacuum.
