Is it worse when it's cold, then better when it warms up? Have you checked for vac leaks?

I would listen to mike before you listen to me, he is older and wiser than I am, and has Built a few more vehicles then I have, Just listening to what you described in your second post, it sounds like what my Uncles built 350 does when its idling around town not being able to let the motor run like it was meant to.
