Erratic Engine 1800 1973

Are you sure your engine is working on all cylinders? Your description sounds like no to me. Pull the spark plug wires off one at a time and note a different idle. An engine that's only foring on 3 cylinders or has badly fouled plugs and intermitent skipping will still idle very smoothly.
