Default strange idle

hi, new here and have a question about what almost sounds like a miss at idle. it's done it since i put in pod's a few years ago. as soon as i bring the rpm's up to about 1200 it goes away. has anyone had this problem. i never messed with it because the truck runs great.

truck is a 90. any suggestions would be great.

i forget where my timing is at. i do have a timing gauge and have checked it. it is advanced but the gear is in the stock location, just advanced at the pump slots. if the timing was to far advanced wouldn't it be hard to start? just wondering because the thing like instantly starts.

thanks again
