    When in neutral the car revs higher and engine doesn't receive load. When in gear it receives load so it shakes a little.

    sounds like a low ideal thing
    when on the brakes it draws alot of power and cause the ideal to drop and then u get a shake

    Had same issue after 5 years of trying to locate. I decided to install a new distributor. I had a cracked vacuum advance that I had epoxy repaired, so I'm thinking it was a vacuum leak. Smooth as silk now. New distributor under $150 on eBay.
