Fixed first problem, now another 200 1986

Issue one, more or less, was a high idle I couldn't get down. It was presumably a vacuum leak somewhere, I ended up pulling the intake, replacing the oil catch can, doing some hoses and gaskets and seals and cleaning a bunch. Now, and most likely before, it idles rough. It does have a squishy motor mount on the pass side, I have new one's, will get to it shortly. Is the wobble jerky at idle just the nature of a big 4cyl at idle with worn mounts? It's fairly smooth at some RPM, but still sort of wiggles occasionally. Nothing dramatic. I'll say my previous 83 B23F car, which was a 350K mile hodgepodge with a K-Jet head and I think LH2.0, did the same thing, still does far as I know. My 87 turbo 740 did not, it was LH2.2, but with EZK ignition. I'm not driving it yet other than around the farm and it did that well enough. I replaced the fuel filter, which was full of sad looking fuel. I put in a can of Berrymans and will pick up some fresher fuel this weekend. Plugs cap rotor temp sensor are new, FPR holds vacuum and is dry, injector seals are new, intake accordion boot is new, AMM and T-body are cleaned and adjusted the t-body, timing is 12BTDC (and oddly steady for the dreaded Chrysler ignition, my 83 was not, mark jumped a lot at idle), I have not adjusted the valves yet, the plug wires are quality German and not new but look to be in good order, I don't have the resistance rating yet, Bentley will be in tomorrow hopefully. It occurred to me I might ought to check the in-tank pump to make sure it's working, I've had them fail before but it was usually obvious, this one starts up fine and all. Any other directions to look off hand?
