Fluctuating neg. to ground on ignition coil

If you adjust the idle mixture screws for max manifold vacuum - it will be lean.
Try adding 1/4 turn out on both screws, if this helps the idle quality add another 1/4 turn.

Yes, I have tried different methods to adjust idle mixture screws, by now I'm pretty good att finding the sweet spot between lean and rich, but nothing takes the slight misfires away.
