I have another answer to some of this. I know the theas old but the fix may remain the same. When I put the new motor in I sold my manifold vaccume lines with it and the guy who bought it let me know there was a small hole in the line going to the back of the intake under the foam covering. He said it was an easy fix but wanted to let me know so I'd say when its stumbles at tip in and lower rpms when you stab the gas it may be this. I looked forever on those lines but did not want to "ruin" it by actually removing the covering to verify no leaks. May have saved me tons of needless repairs and confusion. Id say check the MAF then these vac lines, they are tucked way back therebut take your time.
