b230ft idles rough 700 1990

When the engine is idling, I notice my shifter wobbling around quite a bit and I can feel it in the car.
When I open the hood and listen to the engine running, it sounds like it occasionally misfires. Nothing serious.. it has lots of power, new plugs, wires, dist. cap, etc.. I am just a little concerned.

I can also detect some minor misfire when the engine is reved up a little, It's smoother than idle, but everytime it misfires, the engine jerks a little bit. Again, it's not serious enough to notice from inside the car, or with the hood closed.

Is this normal for a b230ft with 270,000KM (not miles) on it?

Thanks,

-Steve
