The problem could be a vacuum leak. Some recommend spraying carb cleaner around areas that are suspected as having a vacuum leak and the idle will increase when you hit the problem area. You do have to be careful though, carb cleaner is flammable.
It also wouldn't hurt to do a full tune up, and check your timing. A full tune up consists of new distributor cap, new plug wires, new fuel filter, new engine oil, new tranny fluid, new diff fluid, new coolant, etc etc..
