Thanks for the link, Frog!

This has to be my next job.  That, and power window motors -- might
even spring for some fancy one click-up/down power window switches.

This weekend I replaced my old ignition module -- tossed the one that
was loose for a year because a screw had backed out -- for a Accel
unit.  Tightening the screw fixed the idle problem, but replacing it
with a new module really woke the car up.  Along with a new fuel
filter, cap/rotor and spark plugs the car is running great!
