No, it was smooth. I just got a new dist. cap, rotor and plug wires. I’ll check and make sure each plug is sparking.

Did it start running rough after you did the plugs?

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.

…still have same wires you put on.

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..
