my dad has 74 corvette 350 4-speed and he told me that when he lets off the clutch the pedal pulsates rapidly and is hesitant. Any clue what this is? Also says he thinks the problem is in the rear end and he wont let me touch the car so i cant really decribe what its doing

Nothing like internet repairs with incomplete information. A pulsing clutch pedal upon release of the clutch "sounds like" clutch chatter, like the flywheel has hot spots or some such thing. Do not see how this is related the the rear differential, but having a transverse leaf spring suspension is not ideal for smooth operation. That is about all I cam contribute given the provided information. Other than tell the old man to lighten up and let you drive the car

Oh I not only concur, I'm thinkin' he's the prick messiah. I mean PrikwoaC?.......If there was ever a "Golden Child"of prickdom, this has got to be it. The only thing missing is his image burned into a piece of toast.

PHHTT. I can turn water into Koolaid, tea, & coffee. Somebody of your greatness should be able to at least do that

You just need to blend the water w/ some fermented grapes and some sugar.
