I WOULD NOT open up the other cluster to .045-.050, "just for grins" as that would be destroying a perfectly good cluster.

If you still have the shaking issue after a .038" IFR and a .125" hole in each primary blade and you have sealed up the end carb openings so that there is no leakage there then it comes down to:

1) What are the camshaft specs?

2) What is the initial timing?

3) Ported, manifold, or no vacuum advance?

4) As was mentioned the motor mounts BUT that is low on the list.

Tom the cam is a roller SD "old faithful" believe its a 236/245

Intial is 12 before tdc, with 18 from the msd

no vacuum advance on the msd.......i get those two mixed up, my hose hooks up to the carb, i take it thats ported.

Got the motor running pretty good tonite, think im gonna leave it there.........idle about 825-900 range, bounces around on the tack so hard to really tell where im at, also the vacuum is around 11-12............then 12-13, that isn"t excately real steady .

Just wanted to say a big thanks for all you guys helping me out, its been a very frustrating summer so far with this car.
