MN Need a hand diagnosing

Just like the title, I have pretty much exhausted my mechanical ability and tools trying to trouble shoot a bad idle. Car sat for 20ish years with 34k original miles on it. I went through everything attempting to bring it back to life / restore it to its proper condition. Fires up, free revs just fine, cold start works amazing, but it refuses to idle. Lopping like running on 1 rotor ( it isn't )

86 N/A White GXL

I would gladly compensate someone who has a bit more experience with these engines then I do. Or, drink beers and meet a new car friend. Let me know, this car is far far to clean to stay on jack stands another month.

Located in Bloomington, MN.

Thanks in advance,

Mike
