Cranky Commodore

I THINK your dad is on the money. The crank angle sensors are notorious for giving trouble in these older Commodores.

Vibrating calais

You've done just about everything possible and seemingly without finding the cause of the problem. The Commodore of that era is prone to driveshaft vibrations. I would suggest you have the driveshaft angles checked as that is often a source of problems like you describe. It is almost certainly a drive-line problem.
