Are wires hooked up in the proper firing order.
Btw, The problem is with the PERSON who did the work, not the company,it becomes a company problem when people complain right then and there about the work and can confront the employee right away.
I wouldn't blame C.T. for something an employee did unless they won't fix the problem free of charge.

Sometimes the engine/trans can be in a "bind".Loosen engine/trans mounting bolts a few turns.Move engine tranny around to a 'neutral' position by lifting with a hoist,large prybar,or by attempting to "powerbrake" in reverse and forward.I usually have the hood up so I can see the engine move.Do this a couple times then tighten all bolts.Of course you will have to block wheels & leave in neutral until bolts are tight.This will allow mounts to work like they should.This will solve a lot of odd vibration problems.Brian

I wonder if you might have some kind of power brake booster problem. Like a vacuum leak opens in the booster when you brake?

well i think now i fixed it. it was a little of everything. i found a vaccun leak at the rear of the carbuator, losened the mounts like 79f3504x4 and powerbrake and turned a loose screw hidden in the mounts and the bad vibs seemed to almost disaper. and also my tranne gear indicator doesn't jump around much anymore. yay!
