random idle, stalling problems

[vn_v6]

hi guys i got my hands on a vh 5 litre v8, and after i got it started, it idled funny and bogged when acclerating, got a can of carby cleaner, ran it through, cleaned the distributor, bought new leads, not it starts and idles like a dream, revs out nicely, but if im driving it, i step on it, it has a flat spot around 2000rpm, until the secondaries open it just makes noise, then itl get some power going, after i step of, put the clutch it, it wants to stall, if i dont accelerate itl die...

im thinking vaccum leaks?? what could it be?>

I'd certainly be chasing a vacuum leak mate.
Hows the vacuum advance looking on the carb?

Have you changed the Dizzy cap and rottor?
