Reply to "Seeking advice on some issues"

@forestg The local shop was paid to do everything. And I mean everything. The car spent more than a year in restoration/overhaul. The car was stripped, media blasted, body worked (including installation of steel Group 4 flares), and repainted. The original wiring was completely replaced as the original harness had been chopped into quite a bit by previous owners. All new engine, new suspension, new interior...The list is very very very very long and very very very expensive. The fuel pump is an in-tank unit, I'm not sure exactly which one. I need to get all that information from the shop when I go down this weekend to collect the remaining parts.

@racecarmike The engine lopes at idle but is otherwise smooth. I'm told this is the result of the cam that was installed. I don't know what cam that is, but will need to find out. The vibration appears only on acceleration under load, and only within the 2000-2400-ish RPM range. I am concerned that the car smells of raw, uncooked gasoline, and when I went to turn it off today it dieseled a bit, leading me to believe that excess fuel is in the cylinders and is igniting after shutoff. Timing issue?
