Hi Brewtoo,
I had a really bad vibration on my '75 280 that was most noticeable around 35mph, and it turned out to be the plastic bushing that the driveshaft front centering pin goes into, and that keeps the driveshaft centered - it was worn out and didn't keep the driveshaft aligned. Replacing it wasn't too hard, and it was very cheap to buy. (The driveshaft sort of "plugs" into the rear of the transmission as it fits up to the flex disk, and the plastic bushing is what holds the shaft centered - the one on my '75 was goose-egged from wear)
