What year Sonett? More importantly, which carb are you using?
From a 20,000 foot view, I'd say you have a vacuum leak somewhere, but it could be a number of things: incorrect base idle, mixture, clogged idle jet, etc...
Usually if it dies when you have the idle set 'correctly' it is an air leak causing the stall. Get a can of carb cleaner. With the car idling as low as you can get it, spray the carb cleaner *all* around the base including the throttle linkage. If the idle changes (either up or down) you have an air leak. Could be a gasket, or worn throttle link...
