Expected idle with a Purple Cam

The cam was degreed it ran fine before when I owned the car there was a middle man in between .

I'm sure it's just a matter of me getting it right Jim. I really doubt the previous owner did anything to the cam. Good to know it was degreed. Like everyone said, I'll start with the timing and if that doesn't bring te desired result, I'll look into the carb. It was pretty nasty when I opened it up.
