Mustang Keeps Stalling Near idle

I was drivin the old 6 cyl tonight and its a 4spd, so i come to a stop let the clutch in foot off the throttle and bring it to an idle, start to ease into the throttle and it stalls, it did this 3 times. I also noticed this when it seemed to be running good, I would let it idle and then snap the throttle, and then it would seem to quit, but then come back and rev up. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Howdy Carson:

How long since your last carb rebuild? It sounds like a classic symptom of a weak accelerator pump plunger. If you pump it a few times it seems to catch up, but if you don't it acts like a big bog on acceleration. Rebuilding these carbs is very simple to rebuild and it is very worth while.

Enjoy the trip.

I actually just fixed it tonight, I richend it up a little at idle and it seemed to do the trick, but it still stumbles a little, So like you said the accel pump is most likely the culprit. Thanks for your help
