Rough idle in gear

I have a 90 f150 5.0L when i am at a stop light with the truck in drive the idle is rough and seems that it wants to stall,but while driving it runs fine.I have noticed that the idle has dropped off a little while in gear,you can barely notice that it's running also when coming to a stop the alt gauge will go down and stay down until i get moving again,at times i will have to put it into neutral so that it won't stall.Could it be a plug wire,timing,any suggestions would be a big help.

Possible IAC issue. If it has one?
