Back from the dead!
So after having the crappy idle for around 8 months, I had an epiphany and fixed it this morning.
I have a 65mm JG edelbrock throttle body. There's an adjustment screw that can control the position of the throttle plate at 0 throttle. It was set so that the plate was slightly open at 0. Visually I couldn't tell that the plate was open, which is why I didn't figure it out sooner.
So it was still taking in a good amount of air at idle causing the idle control valve to go crazy. I just made sure the plate was closing all the way and voila.
steady 800rpm idle.
I was elated.
