Get a 'piston type', but keep it as a recirculating system. If you have it dump to atmosphere, the air which was metered by the AMM will be dumped and there will be a rich period which may affect Catalytic converter life and could possibly affect your passing emissions test next time through. There are piston type valves which hook into the existing piping. I suggest these. the violent vibration may be due to a worn out rubber bit somewhere. Look at the engine mounts, a-arm inner bushings, etc. Also inspect the ball joints and tie rod ends for wear. Your shudder may also be totally electrical in nature. Look at plug wires, rotor, cap, coil,ignition amplifier and the connector on the side of the distributor.
