My 331 , AOD, with Holley 670 bucks and shakes violently when I shut it down in neutral. Idle rpm in gear is 700, 900 in neutral. Does not kick back in gear shut down.
Crane optical dizz with Crane Hi 6 ignition box.
14 initial and 38 total timing.
Any suggest on how to stop this?

Does it run smoothly when it is on?
Does this sound right?

Curing running on

Running-on is when the engine continues to turn after you've switched off the ignition because the fuel /air mixture is being ignited by a hot-spot in the combustion chamber . Furthermore, because the mixture is often firing at the wrong point in the cycle , the engine does not run...

Any rpm above 1K runs like a top. It does not run on, just thrashes around before it finally quits.

Brainstorming - vacuum leaks, ignition problem, carb idle screws and floats not set right, Holley power valve not a 6.5” or blown out, evil possession…?
