take off air cleaner and there should be a metal flap thing that stops air into carb. Possibly it has been removed.
When car is warm it should be open. Pulled by a rod...
Possibly the choke has been removed or wired open. Common

How much rev do you need to put into it to keep it running?

Power brakes? if so remove that hose and plug it also just to check if that's source of a vacuum leak

So it was running fine for 1 day and then the next day it just started acting up.
Guy who sold it to you have any ideas or advice? He likely was aware of something, maybe

Ok will check that on CARB.

wouldnt know exact rpm but not too much. the higher i keep the rev the better the engine sounds, the lower the rpm it starts acting like it is going to turn off then when pedal is off it just turns off.

OEM Drum brakes. where would that hose be sorry.

Pretty trustworthy guy. if anything it was prob because the car had been sitting too long. and rather than check it and make sure all is good i got excited and just driving it. Again i have a starter on order, as well as dist. cap and rotor, and alternator. Anything else you think i should add to the list?
