I finally got a chance to put coolant in and let her warm up (she never 'burped'... I guess the t-stat bleed hole works!) and set the timing after work today.
She idles nice and smooth, maybe even smoother than before, and responds to light revving well.
If it idles long enough to let the idle 'level out', it will 4/5 times stall putting it into drive or reverse, or at least act like it wants to. Your can start it back up and put it in gear fine, and it will idle fine in gear.
I have definitely been screwing around with the throttle stop, where should it be?
The TPS and IAC were not on it when I welded the throttle lever onto the HO TB shaft and let some smoke out, so it's not cooked.
It has the same TPS and IAC on it that I was using on the old TB.
Could it just be re-learning? The 85 did this at first (not as bad) after it got HO upper stuff, but it also got the conversion at the same time so I cut it some slack, lol.
I didn't have a lot of time to spend with it to investigate, it's still sitting outside at work.
