car shakes on idle.

[Ade_Mc]

hi
Car is making some hectic noise. rattling and what not!
sounds like a bunch of monkeys are having a fight in my motor with pots and pans!
just changed leads, points, cap, sparks.
could be the timing, as it sounds like a diesel!!!
just thought i'd ask.

any pointers would be appreciated.

just added a video, AND THE SOUND IS NOW WORKING. (last one had no sound) check it out and let me know what you think?

dropped a cylinder ade?

Carby working fine? Its probably needing a good clean out with carby cleaner and also installing a small rebuild kit (new needle, plunger, gaskets etc).

[Hen may possibly be a nut]

I'm assuming 4AC here, but I had a similar problem once, shuddered at idle, but was ok once going. Rallystanza diagnosed it as a vacuum hose fallen off under the airfilter. There are 11000 of them, but it may be worth a look.

cheers, i will check it out.
i would buy a rebuild kit but i have a twin webber sitting around, will be putting that on soon.
i hope it hasn't dropped a cylinder. been driving it for over two weeks now.
once its going its kind of ok.

will check the vac hoses.

inlet manifold gasket leaking? that could cause the car to run unevenly...

[Ade_Mc]

that could be possible, since dumping the ride height, i have had a could big scrapes. but don't think it would of broken off. More likely it would of broken off at the hot dog or on the muffler somewhere.

checked the vac hoses, them seem all good.

the search continues

I've got this issue too. Not too violent but this advice is very helpful.

Concidering you just changed a whole bunch of parts, the question is, was it doing this BEFORE you changed the parts? If it was'nt, then I would say you've installed something wrong, or something is faulty and hence, your engine is'nt firing on one of its cylinders.

yeah sounds like engine mounts or exhaust rubbing
