Re: wierd motor shaking/ power loss

Did the problem start before or after installing new parts?

Unless there is a definite misfire, I agree with Bob, u joints or something is out of balance.

Re: wierd motor shaking/ power loss

Does it miss when the engine is under load only? Does it free rev ok? Did you check underneath the dist cap? I'd look at fuel pressure at all speeds for grins too. And do some searching on the forums. I'm sure someone has had this problem and gotten good insight.
