I'll bet (a lot) on timing too retarded. The choke will keep it
off the lowest idle speed, and the vacuum retard only comes into play at
very low idle settings. It will idle (somewhat poorly) with too much retard,
but when you open the throttles it will want to stall before the timing
can advance back to normal. I had this problem after doing a carb rebuild
(and attempted static timing); I just advanced the timing until it was
happy. (This is a '70 with vacuum advance and retard.)
