The problem it is idling way to high. And when I try to use the idling screw it stalls. When in gear it goes way down the the point of stalling.
What cam is in the engine? Classic symptom of big cam, stock stall torque converter

I have a digital timing light and I was told to put it to 36 advanced and put the timing mark on zero on my timing mark.
Did you do that at idle? 36* should be your total timing at 3000-4500 rpm with out the vac advance hooked up. At idle you should be around 12-16*

Also I noticed that I can push my break all the way to the floor..... I changed the one way valve on the break booster... New pcv valve.
Sounds like it could be a big cam causing low vac levels, or could be a bad booster, master cylinder, brake line, etc.
What is your idle vac?

Is this a vacuum problem? Can get it to idle under 1000 rps
High idle could be a combo of your timing and carb adjustments, or you could have a vac leak somewhere.

Thanks!!!!
