idle set to low, timing, vac leak, vac line on the wrong port for the distributor, did you put on a rebuilt carb? Might be a accelerator pump issue as well,, matty man 8)

If everything checks out, timing, vac lines ect,,, then sounds like a bad carb, if you got it at a parts store check with them on how to do the exchange, should not be a problem,, but check every thing, base gasket, lines, good fuel pressure? If all cks, get another carb,, let us know it turns out,, matty man 8)
