I had the same idle problem as you describe. It was the mechanical advance in the distributor hanging up. Try pulling the distributor cap and manually move the advance. It should snap right back to where it started. If not then pull the distibutor and spray some cleaner down the shaft and you will probably find some nasty stuff coming out. Get it good and clean and re-lube then reinstall.
