Time for a tune up  8)
I did the plugs a month ago, R45TS. Should I add in new wires, I have cap and rotor in my cart right now.

Check the condition of the cab mounts.  If the cab is sagging that messes with the whole adjustment.

It's not the torque converter. Pull the plugs, check the cap and rotor.
Ok, will do!

Check the basics, vacuum advance connected? No vacuum leaks? Plug wires clean at the connections? Need a tune up? Etc
All basics are good, carb is fine, no vac leaks, timing is perfect, vac adv. is good, choke is perfect,,,all is pointing to torque conv.

During acceleration the vehicle is smooth as glass, the moment I come to a stop when I get down to 20 mph and below, you feel the shaky chuggy low idle, and of course when stationary and in gear is worse. The moment I give it gas, smooth as can be. Same with reving it in park or neut.

You’d never know there is a problem above 20 mph. We changed out tranny fluid with new filter today, no change.

We called a guy who knows classics very well, he mentioned everything VZ mentioned. And agrees about the torque conv.

Any thoughts? Thanks for the input..

The small hinge pin that retains the auto trans shift lever in the column may be dislodged, loose or worn out.  Pin looseness at the lever insertion into the top of the column can cause improper deflection of the neutral safety switch lower on the column.

Take a quick peek at the mechanical arm as it protrudes from the transmission, the cable end is possibly worn and sloppy.
