Stalling at idle at 200º
Good day all,
I'm new to this forum so bear with me please. I'm writing to you from Afghanistan, as I am a Canadian soldier doing my time over here.
I own a 70 Fastback and I'm having a problem with it stalling at idle when she’s hot. She'll run nice all day driving around town, but when I come offthe highway and she’saround 200º, as Iapply the brakesto stop she'll stall. I've tried playing with the carb, (presently a 2300 Fordcarb) but nothing changes. I've done a little work tothe engine, mild cam, Pertronix distributor & coil, headers, .030 over. I though that she was running hot at 200º/210º but from what I read on other threads this isa good operating temp for this engine, by the way it's a 302 with a 4 speed top loader.
Any suggestions on why it's stalling? What should I be looking for?
Thanks.
