Got a vibration

Not speed related...when I bring the R's up to 1500 I get a semi-obnoxious vibration. Back off and it goes away...go above 1500 and it goes away. Whatya'll think???? Oh yeah...noticed also that i have gas leaking from pass. side of the Carter AFB from throttle shafts

I'd fix the carb leak, then check and see if you have a bad plug wire, or something else in the ignition. You might just have a plug wire grounding out.

It also could be a loose or overly-tight torqued motor mount.
