The van doesn't have points. It is an electronic ignition. I will put the head back together a d see if a new coil will help but that was a new coil.

Ah, I didn't see enough wires coming out the bottom of the distributor to realize it was solid state. That, and the coil being new, it's probably not the issue. The only other thing i would check is the rotor cap, and make sure none of it is loose.
The only other thing i can think to check at this point is if there is a head gasket leak allowing coolant into the combustion chamber at idle. I had that happen once, and it does wobble the idle in a bad way.
To check it i fill with coolant and watch the fill opening for bubbles as someone throttles it up. I look for exhaust gas bubbling up through the coolant.
That's about all the easy diagnosis stuff i have that's simple and cheap. Best regards.
