OK, here's what I found:
I looked up some parts on the Rock Auto site, and checked out a "spark delay valve". I decide to buy the red one. Why? Just figured, since I have no idea what is supposed to be on this engine, any one guess is as good as another. It worked! The engine ran smoother and didn't die when I let off the gas and pushed the clutch.
Now, although it ran a whole lot better, it still wasn't right. So I went back to checking every vacuum line in the truck. I found there was a vacuum leak in the heater control system! I fixed this, and turned the idle down so it sounded where it should be, and took it up to the emission inspection station, and it passed!
