I have been working on a 1965 New Yorker for several years now. You guys have help me on my brake conversion and I hope you can help me out with this one.
The engine is a 440. Clearly, it is not the original engine. It was in the car when I bought it. The casting number on the engine is 7T440E 3 22. The trans is the good old 727. The man that rebuilt the alternator said the alternator looked like it was from an emergency vehicle or motor home. The problem is that there is a tight engine vibration at 1,000 to 1,200 RPM. There is a bull nose/bullet balancer on it.
I thought it was a transmission shift point problem and that has been taken care of. Carburetor is an Edlebrock and that made a world of difference.
My mechanic says it is a balance problem.
Any ideas or past links I can check on.
