Have you checked your centrifical advance in your distributor, check your vaccum advance as well, it sounds like either broken or missing springs on the centrifical advance.
Fluttering Engine @ idle I assume ? . When I were years younger , a '63 Chevy II Nova Super Sprot I had , did this and it drove me crazy . My best bud called it "The Flutter Mobile " . As mentioned , you need to stop and do a Major Tune Up beginning with the dwell to 33 degrees set dynamically , then the timing to 10 degrees BTDC , you can set it to this mark static easily if the spark plugs are out . Gap the plugs to .035" or wider , fire it up and connect the vacumm gauge and see what the gauge does as it idles.... Failure to take the time and do each step exactly , even if you've done it before ,means you'll wind up chasing your tail eternally .
