I installed my Motordyne 5/16 spacer and changed my spark plugs a couple of weeks ago. When I turned it on you could feel the engine kind of wobbling. Only way I can think of describing it. I only feel it while in nuetral. It idles fine but while I'm holding the clutch in or in nuetral I can feel it and hear it. I was hoping that when I got it tuned afterwards it would take it away but it didnt. He told me I had some knock at my top end he took it out. Anyone have any idea whats up with my junk.

Really sounds to me like you left off a vac hose somewhere. Check the one that connects to the underside of the air intake tube, the one that goes from the airbox into the throttle body, and report back

Of course the OP should check for possible installation problems, but I doubt that's the problem IMHO.

To the OP: It you're currious about a plenum leak, take it to a shop that has a smoke machine. They'll hook it up to the plenum vacuum line, and fill it with compressed uv reactive smoke. If you have a leak, you'll be able to see it... Peace of mind = priceless.

Thanks. I'll look into that. I drove it today and tried to get a better feel for what it is actually doing. It's kind of like a vibration that I feel at idle or when I let off the gas. I just feel it thruthe floor board. Kind of weird.
