Wrong AMM? 700 1986

I took it out for a spin and the power is where it should be, I am happy with that much improvement.
The surging is still there.

I found a collapsed and corroded vacuum line coming off of the TB that goes to the Turbo Vacuum indicator on the dash and have replaced it. I realize that this would not and does not account for the surging of the motor but, only the visual indication that the motor is surging on the Vacuum/turbo meter on the dash. This is JUST an assumption - I could be wrong of course.

The car does restart after it's been shut off but, takes about 5 turns to start, as in not instant ignition. It feels like it is running rich as it surges. (just an unproven feeling!).

The motor surges when idling and on neutral, doesn't surge in gar, I guess that would be "normal" given the "abnormality" of the motor surging.

This AMM has a different adjustment on it than the 006 one that came out. The set screw in this AMM has two holes in it for special tool to be inserted into it, the old one had a regular flathead screw type.

1) Should I attempt to adjust the AMM ? If so, what is the homemade remedy for the special tool ? Any suggestions ?

2) Now that I have the car running ? Where should I go next to troubleshoot the surging issue ?

Thanks in advance.
