this is in my el camino, 267 v8/turbo 350

Just yesterday my car started running crappy. What it is doing is this, its idling strange, kind of like a "put put put" and it feels like it stutters, shaking all the time when exleration, even when in park if i give it a bit of gas it shakes, never had any issues before, what do you guys think this could be?

Does it do it all the time, or only during warmup? If it gets better when the engine warms up, I'd look at the choke in the carb, and especially the choke pulloff.
If it does it all the time, put in new spark plugs and wires. How long since you replaced them?

doing it all the time. I recently changed plugs, not wires though, i'll check them out and see about getting some new wires tomorrow, but you got any other ideas? thanks.
