Vibration in a 305 5 speed

I recently bought my first 3rd Gen toy. Upon buying it I had the clutch replaced because of a HORRIBLE jerking when I was letting the clutch out. I was hoping that the fly wheel being warped was also what I was feeling in the car that felt like a bad miss or vibration.

If I push the clutch in and hit the gas it feels like it has a vibration up around 3k to 3500 I seem to have a vac leak too but that should be easy for the mechanic to find.

Any ideas on the vibration?

Was the flywheel checked? resurfaced? replaced?

How is the harmonic balancer and are the pulleys aligned?

Re: Vibration in a 305 5 speed

I dont want to sound like a jerk but are you giving it enuff gas when taking off?
Im not sure of your driving skillz so just asking..
also check your timming and fuel psi.
not enuff low speed timming will make em buck a bit.
