Hey BIG thanks for all those suggestions - I'll be looking into it this weekend. In response to questions - my daily driver is a'53 PU with a 235, been driving it more than 40 years, over 200K mi. The problem is in my '54 coupe. It's been that way quite a while. I recently replaced the clutch. I've learned to drive it without the shakes, but I'm ready now to dig into it and finally fix the darn thing! Sure appreciate all your suggestions.
