The fuel is 39 with the vac off.

The stock EEC is good but it will never trim the amount of fuel out you need to at idle with a 60lb injector, you need a chip with a base start-up tune. What plugs are you running? What cylinder head?

With too much fuel at idle you run a risk of washing the oil of the cylinder walls and causing ring, piston and cylinder issues..
