Ira,

Just a stab in the dark here. On your float chambers, just above the cover =
you have a serrated fiber washer between the cover and the overflow pipe, i=
s it there or could it have been mixed up with the aluminum washer. It is i=
mperative that the serrated washer be at that specific location or your car=
 will run for a while and then stall.


Jean

Have you tried just raising the idle a couple of hundred revs (or
toms)?  Maybe richen the idle mixture a bit?
