I've had some odd vibrations at idle over the years for various different reasons. Mostly when it's really cold out.
Check the oil level. I was 3 quarts low once (
I know
) caused a real bad vibration.
I also had a heck of a time getting a smooth idle back after gelling up once at -45*F. Ended up setting the hand throttle to ~1000rpm and then cracking the injector lines for a bit to really bleed them out.
In your case I would consider installing some clea line between the Fuel filter and IP to see if there is any air comming into the system.

Yeah, I should plumb some clear line in there to see what is up. Just ordered that dorman fitting, too, thanks again for the tip.
