YEa.. the cap and rotor points and condenser look new, I don't have a working dwell meter anymore. Going to order an ignitor or similar. Had good luck with them in the past. I've found that the plugs are wrong. They are disco plugs... the 12yc... gap is probably right.. but the electrode is bent over like mad to get it there. They are running in a nice heat range.. they are light tan. but still.. Think i'll pick up the 11yc or ngk bp5es

Worried that its a valve thing. I get no tapping. But more than anything I'm worried about burning pistons and valves. Worried about how its just when hot that it does it. It even starts idling fine if I just stop at a drive through or long red light.

The coil looks like crap maybe I'll pick up a new one with the ignitor.. Ive replaced some wires. I should continue that.

AS FOR the vibration. Was reading up.. Probably main shaft bearings. Need to get that tranny out NOW.
