I have a slight surging idle on my 300TE...I believe the only ignition part I have not swapped out yet is the potentiometer. You may want to look into this.

Don't you have to replace the entire fuel distributor? How do I go about checking it out?

You can read voltage across the terminals to test it. It is a replaceable part, but you cannot purchase it new alone. You must purchase the entire FD/Airblow block. It is a junkyard swap in reality.

How much for a used distributor?
