I have 3rd generation Doug Thuran pan hard bar, I also added the frame to p/s bracket that braces the p/s at the end. The pan hard bar is a common problem and a slight amount of movement will cause a wobble at times. Ed

fun fact the cross over tubes (the part in the head that delivers fuel to the injector) is different on the 98.5's its the same as the industrial motors that were made pre 99. it wont affect anything its just a slight difference

Well, if it isn't the death wobble than you have a messed up sector shaft. The play in these things from the factory is crazy sloppy. I don't have the spec for it off hand but Dr. Evil likely does.

I still think by adding the DSS you'd get better response as that new bearing on the front end that the DSS has is a great little thing.
