FOUND it!
ok so the symptoms were:
when truck is hot, would stumble and die at idle.
on the highway or around town with ANY throttle would run like a champ.
replaced:
ignition control module
plugs
wires
cap
rotor
stator
coil
(all needed replaced anyways so no big deal)
fixed all the vacuum leaks (removed smog)
fixed exhaust leaks
used ether to check for any other leaks.
finally figured out what it was...
the check valve in the line going from the evap recovery to the evap canister, with the "T" that went to the PCV valve was bad.
while idling the Fuel pump was not pushing fuel into the carb fast enough. The bad check valve was allowing the vacuum from the motor to suck the hot gas out of the bowl.
ran a line straight from the port on the carb to the evap canister, and plugged the small outlet on the PCV valve...
Runs like a champ again...

Wow great job. Sounds like one of those little things that would be tough to track down. That small stuff can cause the biggest headaches sometimes. I'll keep that in mind in case I run across the same symptoms I'll know what it is. Thanks
