This saturday we are going to begin looking for mechanical problems: fuel pump, fuel return line, pull the valve covers and check the valve adjustments, check vacuum and make sure intake isn't leaking etc. I will update on all findings. Thanks again for everyone's help!
This thought may be a bit old / elementary, but before undoing stuff on the top of the engine (vacuum leaks)...... get some carb cleaner and spray it all over the engine listen for an idle change. That's how I found a cracked TBI gasket.
