The shut off problem definitely points to a vacuum leak. Buy a Mityvac and track down the leaks. You may have several. Do your doors also not open and lock after a few tries after the car has been shut off? They work on vacuum as well and if you have a leak, the rest of the doors will not unlock when you open the driver's door with the key.

After you find and fix the leaks, do exactly what Diesel911 laid out for you. Work through those items and I'll bet you solve the problem.

I need to do the same with my 84. I have fixed the vacuum leaks and adjusted the valves. Now I need to move down the list.
