    Hey guys I did a 302 swap in my 74 it's been two months now and I've noticed when I stop at a light my car will start bucking and the oil pressure will start jumping low and will sometimes cut off. Do you think it's not getting enough spark during low idle I haven't done MSD yet IMG_20151026_172322395.jpg

    Sounds like your idle may be a little low.
