Running Problems 120-130 1967

OK
My 122 has had problems running recently. As expected, my 122 is difficult to start in winter. But it has been especially poor lately starting and it will easily shut off if I let the idle get anywhere bellow 2000 rpms. When I am first starting the engine it will it will shut off a few times until I catch the engine with enough gas and hold it above 25000 rpms.

Once the car has warmed up and I am driving, I press the gas and rather than the power increasing the power decreases, the car runs ruffly and it slows . Also, sometimes when I am running the car at a consitant rpm the car will run ruffly without me increasing the gas.

The heat seems to be too high for it being winter here. Although it is not over-heating, the temp is higher than I remember it being last winter.

Does this have someting to do with it being winter, or is that just coincidence. The engine was run recently for some time on very little oil.

Any help would be appreciated,
