At that point, I think the best thing to do would be having the carburetor taken off, take it apart, put it in some gunk remover (Carburetor Cleaner sold in 1 gallon barrels), then wirebrush it all out, make sure all the jets are clean, buy a carburetor repair kit, and put it all back together with new seals. At how old your car is, it would probably be best for it. On the cheap side, all that needs to be done is having the carburetor's throttle accelerator pump fixed (Squirter). A shop should be able to do all this, but it's not hard, either.
search forna repair book at a parts plaace or online-a bad idle can be a number of things-from an ajust to a electrical tuneup-replacing parts without good info equals $$
Check the hose between the inletmanifold and the pipe to the brakeservo it normally gets old and a crack in so the engine sucks false air on cylinder 4, causing engine to run rough or uneven.
Check for a vac. leak. First listen for a whistle or a high pitch sound if you have any fix them. You can get a can of carburetor cleaner and spray around the vac, hoses even the big one on the brake booster unit and the back of the master cly.
