For mine I used throttle body cleaner in an aerosol can. Disconnect it, 2 large vac hoses and a wiring plug. Spray the inside of it until its clean, and makes sure the little flapper inside moves freely. Then connect it back up. If it was me, I'd do the the throttle body at the same time. Stuff will be out of the way, also a good time to do the flame trap and oil separator box, check all those vac lines under there. One more note. My 82 does not have a throttle position switch, so no need to worry about getting that right, in the past I have just adjusted the idle speed screw to get me more time before cleaning the throttle body, it works. Also I'm sure by now you know about the fuses. I've had stalling problems from fuse 13 being corroded, also check electrical connections, have had no start from them. Lots of places for trouble on an old car, unfortnately, I think I've had just about everyone!!!
Good Luck...
