Default How Long Should 76 Vette Fast Idle

When first starting it goes to fast idle, idle speed is okay but it takes 5 minutes before it will kick down to normal idle seems like a long time for car to warm up is their something I can do to reduce this time? or is something not working right? I prefer not to put it in gear until it is off of high idle. Thanks for your help

Might need to adjust the choke. Mine will take 1-2 minutes when it's warm outside but up to five minutes when it's cold.
