I put in new plugs, wires, rotor, cap. Now, if i dont verrrrrrry slowly roll off the throttle it will die instantly. you blip the throttle, rpms go up, then stalls out. Idle is somtimes 1000 sometimes 1300, and seems to be missing/running rough at idle. Sometimes diesels when i shut it off. Where should i start on this one?

I'd look for a broken vacuum line, like maybe the one that is attached to the distributor. If you have a vacuum leak, that will do what you are describing.
