Bob,
After having my transmission rebuilt on my '79, I developed a very bad
vibration around 60 mph while accelerating, and at all times while
decelerating to
about 40 mph. Turns out the flange at the rear of the transmission that
attaches to the drive shaft was loose. To check this, drop the drive shaft
and grab
the flange. It should not move. If it does, it needs to be tightened. Just
my 2 pence!
