Got my new 84 home tontite.  It runs beautifully.  Engine is tight,
quiet, and smooth (25k ago new VW longblock).  One little glitch.  At
idle the engine runs a little rough, kinda stumbling, kind missing?
Yet, any throttle makes it run perfect.  It smells a little rich, yet it
passed emissions?  There is not cat, so perhpas there is a little less
backpressure?  Not sure what it could be, vacuum leak?

Any suggestions appreciated!
