Unhappy My car is acting up ;(

This is my first thread and I hopei am doing it right.... My brother told me to go on here he is the one that gave me the car he is 59camaro. I am clueless about LT1 engines I noticed this week that my car started to shake a lot when i put it in reverse it shakes even more, I feel as if its going to shut off on me. Oh and if cant get any worse water is going in my car. I have a 95 camaro z28 No T top and from what i have noticed the water is not coming in from the door cuz the panels are dry and the only part that is flooding is the back of the passenger side it had been raining a lot these last few weeks and a lot of water went in my car. Can anyone help? Or have a clue what might be wrong with my car???? Thanks

A vacuum leak will cause the motor to shudder when you load it up by putting it in gear at idle RPM. I read your post a couple times and can't find any specific information that would help me track down your problems.

I might suggest sitting in the car and having someone hose it down while you watch for leaks.

The vibration problem will require more information to diagnose.
