318 running rough and losing vacuum when in gear.

the 318 and 340 are both internally balanced except the 73 cast crank 340 and maybe a few 72's were external balance .what makes you think your tc is the problem ?
think tc because when I started the car without the driveshaft connected the tail shaft was spinning while in park. there is no internal engine issue. 120psi compression across all 8 within 2 psi of each other. don't think that u would have that with timing jumped. as mentioned above . have inspected internals
thanks for the tc balance info. I'm going to get it apart this week.
