How long since a tune-up? Have you checked the timing? How many miles on engine? How is your cylinder compression?
There isn't much load on engine in park or neutral. When you put it in gear, there is a load on the engine. With carbed engine 6--8 psi fuel pressure. Crub idle in drive, 575 rpms. With a high mileage engine, that idle speed may not work. Is there an idle screw on the carb, where you can up the idle to keep it from stalling, in gear? Of course if you do that, when you put it in park or neutral the idle is going to go high, I know it's a pain. If your engine is in poor shape, your probably going to have a tough time, getting it to run correctly. Just my opinion.

Your idle air controller may be failing. Begin checking for stored codes using a code reader, and progress to standard troubleshooting steps such as checking spark, fuel delivery, and operation of the intake air control circuit.
I have a 1989 5-series BMW which sometimes stalls after changing from reverse to drive. It also sometimes shakes when first driving in reverse before changing to drive.
This is a shot in the dark . Check the inlet rubber pipe that goes from the air cleaner assembly to the throttle body. Some times they will crack and or collapse when the engine torques one way and run fine when torqed the other way. It actually will create and remove a very large vacuum leak. I have experienced this on two vehicles a Nissan Sentra and a 86 Toyota 4x4. Not on your specific vehicle but it's very possible thats the problem.
