ok so a few updates. I unhooked the hose for the headlights and pluged that port and it ran a bit better so there is probably a vacuum leak there. also when i unpluged the power brake booster vacuum line some fuel came out of the the large port at the rear of the carb. is that normal? i turned the idle screws in and the car died but it runs best when they are about 3/4 out. the vacuum goes down and it runs rough even at 1 full turn out. the carb is still popping in the same situations though. the running on is intermittent or it has stopped though.
