Just seeing this, since I was traveling the past two weeks.

My 1973 has a hand throttle, so I removed most of the cold start stuff and plumbing--AAV, ARV, pipes and hoses. I just have the CSV and TTS now, and the vacuum thermo valve to the WUR. I use the hand throttle to keep it idling for a couple minutes. It also works as a poor man's cruise control.

I have found that the tendency for RPM to hunt at idle often results from slightly too much timing advance at idle. Try reducing the timing advance a couple degrees at idle and see if it still hunts. If so, then focus on getting the advance curves (mechanical and vacuum) working to give you less advance at idle.

BTW, per others here, 28 degrees of mechanical advance is a lot for a twin-plug engine. Try 25. I'll bet if you just retard the dizzy 3* to get 25* advance, and that also reduces the idle advance by 3*, your hunting will reduce or go away.
