Jimmy, I can't e mail you without your address.  Mine is jackbahmlll@yahoo.com  Those are L's at the end of my name.

Check the torque of you head bolts and make sure they are still tight.  A small vacuum leak in the intake area will cause you to loose idle and it will run good under load and higher speed.  Look for a cracked intake manifold, a bad gasket, or some other place air can get into the idle air stream.  Spray the area with carb cleaner or wd-40 while it is running.  If it clears up. you have found the leak.  Now don't cause a fire when you are doing this.  Be carefull.
E mail me with what you find.
