I used the pre-gap'd Volvo plugs.

I put them on and while the car did run smoother, but it still has as weird vibration to it. When I put the car into gear, it vibrated more. The car runs fine once it's out of idle speed/rpms.

This is the list of things I'm now considering to the issues (some are just spit-balling).

1. Timing off a little bit (though I don't think a symptom of poor timing is vibration).

2. Engine/transmission mounts being warn (still not sure how this would create the sound).

3. exhaust leak (though it doesn't exhibit the ticking sound).

4. something is just loose and I can't f'n find it.
