Default Vibration after stall installation??

After my stall installation, i feel a vibration throughtout the car, steering wheel, center console and so on. I used the search, but none of the resolutions fit my situation. Everything they described fits my case, but I did not change my transmission mount or crossmember to some aftermarket one like the other guys, any solutions.

I'll try it, but what would cause this vibration if that was the case?

Had the same problem with my 69, turns out the converter and flexplate were balanced as one when bolted together and i had to rotate the TC to find the right bolt pattern on the flexplate.

Ok, well I bought another transmission mount from work, (AutoZone, Part# 2817) and it cut the vibration out alot. I still feel it just alittle, so the next thing i will do is rotate the TC and hopefully eliminate it all together.
