Drain of IP oil

Art,
Unfortunately draining and refilling the IP to the proper level did not solve the missing problem. I guess I'll look into the other items like possible cold start valve leakage. The symptoms are strange in that running the car after a cold start, it will miss badly at low RPM. Even after it is warmed up it will still miss until I start increasing the rpm and letting it run at around 4000-5000. When I let it do that for a while the missing at the lower RPM's and idle disappears, yet it continues to miss in that high RPM range (like something was cleaned out). If I return it to idle, even though it is not missing at idle, the idle will fluctuate between 300-700 rpm and act like it will die! If I turn the key off and restart it, the idle will be smooth and steady? This is my first injection car and carbs seemed a lot simpler. Thank you for all your advice.
