Suddenly no idle - otherwise fine. 200 1976

I was driving to work this morning and suddenly, in stop and go traffic, the car stalled. I thought it was my doing (on and off the clutch in traffic). Started it back up and moved another car length, and it stalled again.

It just won't idle. Dives to 0 when I let off the gas. Otherwise, it feels fine.

Perhaps the idle bypass got clogged suddenly? Any other thoughts? There was no warning - one minute it was fine, and the next it wasn't.

Thanks,
Eric
