On 55 Rochesters that exact symptom is covered in service counselor 30 No 2 page 7, and TB 55T-41. The TB wasn't much help, just identified the problem and told dealers to send for rework. SC article mentioned a new throttle body to fuel bowl gasket, bending the idle vent arm to not make contact and sealing the vent hole. You having a 56, I wouldn't think that was issue but is it possible an early carb is on the car or a rebuild used a gasket that was not correct. Is there an open vent hole?
