My son has an 1989 z24 that was doing the same thing. After changing all the sensors and plugs, plugwires,fuel filter,coils,throttle position sensor i deceided to attempt to change the fuel pressure regulator while releiveing the pressure off the fuel rail i noticed fuel had been leaking around the valve so i took a valve core stem out of an old tire and replaced it started the car up and it seems to be fine now. Try it.

Why does your 78 firebird with a chev 350 drop from 1500rpm to 500rpm when you shift into gear can it be the ignition timing?

Unless that is an extremely radical 350 it shouldn't be idling at 1500 rpm in the first place. It should idle around 800 rpm and drop maybe a couple hundred when put in gear. If you are having to idle it at 1500 to keep it running you do have other problems. Could be timing, vacuum leaks, or a poorly adjusted carb. I'd start with those first.
