I worked as a tech at an independent shop for over 35 years and had a lot of EEC iv experience. I agree with what Bloo said above and recommend an all or nothing approach. Your computer controlled carb is possible chronically lean because of an air bleed system built into it causing the rough running or the EGR is partially stuck open. The base of the egr and external tube, if it has one, will get hot if this is the case. They can usually be cleaned and operated a few times with a hand held vacuum pump to exercise the valve so the pintle fully closes with no vacuum applied. if it is not fully closed at idle the idle quality will be terrible.
I'd recommend either restore the vehicle as built or, depending on laws in your state, you may be able to replace the carb and Distributor with non EEC iv parts and go to a 70's version of engine management without computer controlled fuel or spark control. In the case of the ignition system that would require either going completely aftermarket, or adapting to a 70's style Dura Spark system with centrifugal and vacuum advance. The Duraspark had its own issues so might be best to go aftermarket.
There is a lot to know and understand about the EEC iv system. Once you get the basics and the system is functioning they tend to work pretty well. I found this for you that may help familiarize yourself with the parts of the EEC iv and how they work. Good Luck.

Sold.
Gang of 4 power window switches for driver's door.
Fits Early to mid 60's GM cars with switches in armrest.
Buick, Cadillac, Oldsmobile.I do not know all the cars or years this switch fits.
It was out of a 65 Riviera.Sold for parts or repair.
1 of the 4 switches has extra play when moved into the up position.
I've included pictures of it in the center position and in the up position. (last 2 pics)
It feels normal when pulled to the down position but has little resistance when moved to the up position.
These can be taken apart and usually repaired.I no longer have the car around me so I'm selling this in case someone can use it.
Chrome is not very pitted and should shine up with some Triple-ot steel wool.It is dusty from sitting in my parts cart for years.
I did a continuity test moving the switches up and down and all the switches passed except for the lazy one moved in the loose direction..
Price is $47 Shipped to the us.
I have zelle and Paypal.

That's too bad about your cousin.
Possibly the roof was repainted due to sun fading and blended into the quarter panels?
Thanks Jim for your comments.

The car has been SOLD
I'm posting this ad to help my first cousin sell his car who is battling cancer.
The car is in Houston, TX and he has owned it since 2002.
The mileage was 58555 when he purchased it and now is 63629 believed to be the original mileage.
Looks to have been garage kept its entire life given the condition but we have no info before 2002.
It is an Astro Blue on Blue Cutlass S with 350 2 barrel, turbo 350 trans. P/S, P/drum brakes, A/C, with aftermarket stereo.
Original interior, The paint has probably been redone or touched up.My cousin says he's seen some color on a bit of chrome trim.
I also have 2 short videos of it running.
I last drove it in 2020 and it drove fine but pulled a bit when stopping so probably some brake work needed.
He drives it occasionally to the local starbucks but doesn't take it on the freeway anymore.
If it sits longer than a few weeks between starts the transmission seeps fluid.He is undergoing chemo every other week so can show it on a week when not doing the treatment.
He would like 15K for it and will use the money to help pay for his ongoing treatment.If interested I can answer more questions about it and if serious about buying will put you in touch with him.
We would also appreciate you keeping him and our family in your thoughts.Thanks for looking.
Please see the ad update posting a few replies down.
The car was PAINTED in June and looks great. I've added photos a few replies down.

It's crazy, all the auto parts companies seem to have removed choke thermostats from their online catalogs.
I checked car quest, napa and rock auto. Nothing.
Lots on ebay, guess you will have to look there.
Good Luck
