I took all the caster out of the 27 and it stopped the wobble but would “ hunt”. Drove it like this till I could afford new spindles.
If you use an older manifold make sure to use a 2732 flat plate adapter, even old Edelbrock intakes have problems with Edelbrock carbs.
I had the same problem on my 27 track roadster 327/350, after batteries and starters I finally replaced my old cables with 00 , problem solved.
Yeah, I gotta start calling all my FEs medium blocks… genius!
Had similar low speed wobble on the 27, after all the typical “ fixes “ found out it had a bent spindle, hard to see from above, easy to see in a pit.

FYI Mr Gasket still makes steel shim head gaskets that are .020 thick, close to the factory steel shim gaskets, might help keep the compression up.
