    I see Sunoco Blue!

    The question is will you see Frost White and Matador Red as well?

    Man, that paint scheme is wicked!

    Sorry to hear about all of the troubles, hopefully you can get them sorted. Could the vibration be a bad flywheel or balancer?

    In reply to Javelin: hey Michael, I don't think it's the flywheel or balancer but I really have no idea. I'm considering putting it on a chassis dyno. If I'm right about the exhaust (or something) touching the chassis it might show up on the dyno. if it doesn't show up on the dyno I guess that would eliminate the flywheel/balancer...

    Just a thought. AMC's are very sensitive to engine balance issues, so it's worth at least ruling out.
