Well here is the disheartening update for today. I opened up the distributor and looked at the points, which I actually had put in when I first got the car, just forgot about it. The block that rides on the distributor was obviously worn and had decreased the gap. I re-gapped them, started the car, no effect on the shaking. I then took them out, cleaned the point surfaces themselves, which were a little bit burnt, tried it, no effect. Then I went to the store, got a brand new set, tried them, no effect. I also played around with the gap a little just to see, which didn't do anything either. I checked the timing and firing order, all are spot on. The only thing that has changed is that the exhaust smokes ever so slightly, which it didn't do before, and you can hear the ticking and sputtering in the exhaust more prominently now it seems. Am I wrong for wanting to stick a rag in this thing's fuel tank and light it? Any more ideas gentlemen?
