I am currently getting a rebuilt engine tweaked and broke in. Also had a vibration problem, even though it has counter balanced crank, lightened flywheel matched to V8 clutch. Starting out, had to clean carb--got a little better. Then determined dist rotor was striking dist contacts--fixed that with a file. That helped. Shorted the plugs, number one didn't change so replaced the plug, now running pretty smooth. I think I might have another problem though. I have a Snyder 5.5 head but only 62 psi compression, need to figure that one out next. I think it should be better than that--maybe not. I have retorqued the bolts.
