Default Car Starts, Dies When I take off gas

Hey guys,

I got my 1970 Mach 1 to start, but it would die immediately after taking my foot off the gas. It's been sitting for a while, so it was spewing out a bunch of crap. Not sure if it's bad gas, clogged line, or under the hood.


Your guess?

Idle speed is too low it sounds like. Also put in fresh gas, new fuel filter and clean the carb. That will help.
