My truck dies when I shift from Drive to Reverse?

Its is a 1991 GMC K1500 EFI 350 5.7l. I let the engine warm up before I drive it. At a stop light in Overdrive it idles around 300-400 RMPs. If it does not die the RPMs drop quickly and lug for a moment. it happens after that transmission has engaged in Reverse

It is ticking over too slowly and you need to increase the idle speed to 700-800 revs on the throttle screw after adjusting the mixture first of all.
