225 stalling

If it idles with the choke 90% closed, it's getting too much air from somewhere else. Think about it, she's running, so it is in fact getting enough fuel, to run, just too much air. This means your fuel system is working fine enough to idle. And since you can drive it and it seems OK,the fuel system seems to fine there too.
So the only issue you have is at idle. And Ima thinking it is sucking air somewhere.
Yeah the idle air bleeds may be not working right, but I'm going with a vacuum leak.
Yeah the point gap may be too tight, but I'm sticking to vacuum leak.
But, before you spend a ton of time on that, I would lash the valves. It wouldn't be the first time tight valves confused the issue. I use .013/.023 lashed at about room temperature.

Thanks man, when I had it running today, the valves actually sound a little loose. I'll get a new carb gasket and check for leaks. I was thinking a air leak that large would be more noticeable and if a crack in the intake It would likely get worse when hot. It does stumble some on acceleration from a stop but it's also coming up from idle. Come to think of it, I had noticed that it would start right up first thing in the morning I could drive any distance, stop for a few minutes and it would start right up, if it sat for over 30 minutes, sometimes it would be a bear to get started, choke functions normal. When it acted up like that it seemed like it was flooding. My plugs are golden brown
