The carb cleaner spray trick works. When the RPMs bump up a little, after getting hit with the volatile vapors, you've found your leak. Also check all the tubing...vacuum canister, PCV etc. An air leak in a power brake reservoir can cause that, but you've ruled that out.
The Edelbrock 1405, 1406 are pretty simple carbs. Easy to fix with the available EDL-1477 kit.
