    well after sitting for a year and a half i finally got some new shoes for her and got her running but when taking it for a test drive i notice some issues.

    she will idle fine and keep cool but running it around just a little bit warms up pretty quick, i am thinking the water pump but not sure just yet.

    when i shift gears the whole car shifts, almost like the rear end is shifting. i can only think u-joints but then again something else might be wrong and i might just be missing it

    i got a bad crank pulley wobble which i have 3 ideas what might be wrong, bent pulley, out of balance crank or possibly something wrong with the flywheel i.e. somehow installed wrong and threw off the balance.

    and finally might just be a timing issue but i got pretty much not acceleration off the line.

    any ideas on how to solve these issues would be greatly appreciated

    when you ask a question, the replies shouldn't have to be more questions. you need to better explain what is going on. we don't know what motor you have or anything.

    one thing for certain, if there was something wrong with your flywheel that was affecting your crank pully you are in big big trouble

    well i got a few questions and a few ideas but i wanted to get opinions from others to see if i am missing or possibly overlooking somthing.

    the motor is the stock 218 flathead that i converted to 12v, and the crank pulley has a pretty bad wobble and i am trying to figure out possible reasons or if it is somehow just bent.
