Difficult to Start, Rough Idle, Dies w/o Throttle 1800 1971

Very likely that the coolant temperature sensor is a major cause of your problem. When it fails (or the wiring fails) the computer makes the mixture go way rich. The air temperature sensor will have much less, but similar effect. The car will run reasonably well with the AT disconnected, but not with the coolant sensor inoperative. Replacements are cheap and readily available (NAPA carries them).
