Did you try adjusting the idle screws? I'm guessing you did, as well as the fuel filter. Do you have a vacuum gauge? Make sure your distributor vacuum timing cannister doesn't have a blown diaphragm, leaking vacuum. Commonplace on old cars, simple and cheap to replace too.

Thanks, macbubba. I am not a young man anymore, so searching for vacuum leaks is par for the course
for an Old Guy like myself!
