For some reason when I start the 253 up after a few weeks, once started the revs creep up to over 2000 rpm until I put it into gear and drive it.. Its just annoying because obviously i wanna warm it up for a bit first without annoying the neighbours.
Any idea how to stop this?

You could disconnect the automatic choke but then you will have problems starting when cold.

2000+rpm sounds too high for a cold start
Is it fitted with a Quadrajet ?
If so, there is a fast idle speed adjustment screw on the cam that comes off the choke. Just wind it down a bit and see how it goes
