Is the Distributor the original?
If so then due to old grease the advance shaft has been known to hang up and not allow the timing to drop back off smoothly upon a drop in rpm.
I would also consider choking the Carb off slowly at idle to check for vacuum leaks .

Also check that there is slack in your throttle linkage at idle and that when throttle is applied that the motor does not roll over far enough to pull the throttle open more.
