Welcome to FTE!
What about tuneup type stuff, like plugs, wires, cap, rotor, fuel and air filters, PCV valve? Might also need to clean the idle air control(IAC). How many miles are on it? Just curious. About 169K on my 89.

That could be it, or maybe dirty injectors? If the wires are real old, it might be worthwhile to replace them.
You might also want to post on the 302 or fuel injection forum, they get quite a bit more traffic than this one. You'd probably get more ideas. This van forum is new and doesn't get all that much attention yet. Good luck!
