Default Truck eats ecu's

Have had a long line of electrical problems with this 87 302. It finally will idle but high idle. Extremely high idle. But when I unplug the iac it goes down to normal. And when I accelerate quickly the engine try's to die and backfires. But it's hazes black smoke out of the tail pipe. After testing everything but the ecu i use a friends out of a bronco with same engine and it didn't change anything but when he put the ecu back in his truck his has now has the same problems mine does. Any ideas?
