My 1984 will not stay at an idle at all especially when I put it in neutral to come to a stop and I don't know what's wrong anymore I changed the brake booster and put new gaskets on my carburetor.

The problem is that it is carbureted. Switch to fuel injection. I've ALWAYS had problems with carbureted engines.

Sounds like a vaccum leak check with some carb cleaner around all hoses gaskets on intake and check the pcv valve( clean or replace) ? Let us no

I think it depends on the person, my uncle and cousin can take any carbureted engine and make em purr like a kitten, guess it's all on what you know

Yes, but at some point they will stall on you lol. Not with fuel injection unless you have a problem.

I've put a new brake booster and gaskets on my carburetor but haven't checked the hose. And I'm going to borrow my friends timing light this weekend and see where that puts me
