I should have thrown in that I have rebuilt the Edelbrock 1406 carb thinking that was the issue. The alternator is the older style with the external VR.

I only pose this as electrical because when I put a load on the system (turn on the headlights) it happens. If I disconnect the alternator it stops.

"Surging" might not have been a good word. The engine RPM is fluctuating between 850 and stall.
