When? All the time? Only when you get on it? Does it feel like you're missing? Any power? Does it stay running? Need more info

wrong weight flywheel, you may even have the correct box , but with the wrong part[:'(], drop the tranny n take it out

it is a light wieght aluminum flywheel from fidanza, i havent driven the car yet but it feels like the motor is lagging i hit the gas and it takes a second to rev up. the car stays running but when i turn the distrubutor to advance or retard the timing the car wont start. it will mstart right up once i put the timing back? something off a tooth or two?

The lag and the vibration is probably 2 serperate problems.
The vibration is most likely the wrong imbalance in the flywheel.
