so I got my windsor motor running and took it for a spin.. seems to be idling a bit high (900-1000 rpm's) but when I come to a stop it stalls.. if I put the car in park or neutral it idles fine (just a bit high). anybody know off hand what could cause this?

What is your setup??? I take it that you have an auto, which one (c4 or AOD)? Carb or SD?

I just cured a very similar problem on my 83 carbed c4. My fuel filter was getting clogged from all the stuff that has collected in the tank over the years. As soon as I put it in gear it would drop the idle down to like 250-300rpms, have a hard time on take off, and didn't want to idle high enough to stay running when it was cold while in park.

you are saying it stalls when you hit the brake on the car ? sounds like it is pulling to much vacume from somewhere .
