I just purchased a 1977 Ford F150 and among a few other things, I've noticed that it wants to die at low rpm's. When I start it, it tends to have a high rpm idle, but when I give it a little gas, the idle calms down and if I don't continue to give it a little gas, the motor will stop running. Any ideas?
