Ive got a same problem with my 72 mach. When i first start the car it has a tendency to try to die. I feather the gas peddle. If i put it in drive or reverse right away after starting it the RPM drops way down and wants to die. I have to let the RPM get up to 1000 in park before I can actually drive it without it dieing. Once i have been driving for a couple of minutes its warmed up and in drive its at about 800 rpm. Sounds great but when i put it in nuetral or park it goes up to a 1400 rpm. too high I beleive. anyone help?
Sounds like a choke problem. What kind of carb do you have, and when is the last time it was serviced or rebuilt?

Take care,
