I bypassed the stupid circuit board and connected the alternator field directly to the alt output.  Wow what a difference.  The EC2 and fuel pumps were probably the most affected.  All of a sudden I can get idle out of the ultra rich and put the mixture right.  Idle is MUCH better.  I even had to reset the idle stop so I could idle lower.  Down to 1000 RPM or less now and it sounds great.  Oh, the lights stopped flickering and the radios sound better too.  Go figure.

Nice find Dave.  Is your engine ported?  1800 is still about the best I can do for idle, which is OK, but eventually, I want to try to get that down some.  My engine is ported, so I wonder if the idle will ever be good at 1000.  Certainly not my biggest problem at the moment.
 
Cheers,
