86 240 smog hell 200 1986

My most favorite car in the world (Ruby) 86 240(standard w functional od) 325,000 miles is having fits at the smog 2 speed test. And I have no idea what is causing it>
On the rollers the car surges and rolls some side to side...
IN real life you can diddle with the accelerator all you want and it never falters.
I have a new IAC on it with less than 5,000 miles, Bougicord wires, Ngk Platinum plus plugs, new distributor cap and rotor... flame trap is less than a year old.... alla the vacuum hoses are about two years old...
If we can't ferret this out... I will pay a competent smog mechanic, to fix her...I live in the Los Angeles/long Beach area

Thanks as always
Paul
