Stalled 66 when under load
Hi guys, Im a bit stumped as to why my car starts fine and runs good but when i put it in gear it stalls. New fuel filter, fuel pump, rebuilt autolite2100 carb, new dist cap and rotor, newish coil. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated

Sounds like a vacuum leak to me. Its the first think I'd check. Especially with a rebuilt carb. Recheck the idle screw, seal from carb/manifold, vacuum line, or get yourself some starter fluid. You'll find it quick.
If not that, see if the mix is lean with a vacuum gauge.
Sorry if it sounds elementary, but lets try the "free" stuff first so we don't just throw parts at it!
I have a 65, and sometimes the idle is hard to pin down.

In park i can rev it all i want. I actually found the pcv valve was a little loose going into the valve cover so i wrapped a piece of tape around the tip and it snugged up nicely, so nice that it started up went in gear and i drove it around the block for the first time in about a year. brought it home checked the tire pressure and was going to take it for another spin and it stalled again when i put it in drive.
