Idling low and surging. WOT and acceleration are fine along with mid-range. I tested at the house and 2, 4, & 6 have no fire at idle. I am thinking power pack since it is the whole bank.

Could be stator or trigger also.

Gary, I was also thinking trigger since it is original. I had a stator go out and it just dropped my RPMs to 2000 max. Do stators have a high / low side?

Looks like a stator. Side that is not firing at idle tested at 10.1 ohms and the other was 4.5.

If it is still connected is reading resistance of switch box as well

Update, stator killed all fire to outer box. Box itself was dead on #4. New stator and new box and I now have big time fire.
