Confused, Rough running engine

I have a 77 F-150 300 4spd The engine misses at Idle runs rough up to about 40mph (I have no tach for rpm) light throttle or heavy throttle. I bought a rebuild from Pony Carburetors. I did a tune-up plug wires cap rotor It basically stayed the same. I do have a calabraided disy from performance distributer coming. Could this be something simply or something worse? If you could help ,the hair may stay on my head
