Idle Surge - 1984 5.0 Thunderbird, CFI, EEC-III, Duraspark III

My 1984 Ford Thunderbird 5.0 date of manufacturer is 12-83 has a Distributor WITHOUT an Ignition Control Module TFI mounted to the distributor. It has an Airtex 6H1104 Ignition Control Module (shown in the link) mounted on the driver's side inner fender panel and has a Ford Distributor part number E2AE-12127-GA which never had a place to mount a TFI module.

I still have the common idle surge miss for this year and wonder which 1984 Thunderbird 5.0 models changed distributors and why the car idles rougher sometimes. The car has only around 70k original miles and has some oil blowby from the oil cap but no smoke out the exhaust and doesn't use much oil.

Intermittently runs different, not as smooth at idle and has a hiccup miss sometimes after a minute of idling.
