runs good,no more bubbling in radiator, but still have a idle surge, replaced all vaccum lines, set timing at 12 and base idle at 750,cleaned tb,maf,and iac,put in autolights with a 52 gap,thinking the iac might be bad?

Great job, looks much better. But I would have spent a little time on the wires also lol.

And what's up with the air box / heat shield ? I could see that working loose, and causing a big mess when the fan gets to it. Good idea though, let us know if a new IAC helps the surge.
