Re: 71 302 dieing?

The first thing you should do is a compression test of all of the cylinders. It's best if the engine is warm for this test. They should be within 10% of each other. Do you get the vibration only when the car is moving or do you still get it when you bring the rpm's up in park? I'd be checking the engine and transmission mounts as well as the harmonic balancer in a 40 year old car!
