Vacuum leak. Probably from throttle shaft. Use a propane torch (unlit) to find leak, or you can use brake cleaner or cab spray.
Is the vacuum canister for the advance on the distributor ruptured and leaking (as it should be on manifold vacuum at idle)?
How about pictures of your setup with the air cleaner off?
