Re: Engine Stalls...
Possibly fuel sloshing out of the secondary vent? If that's the case, that would mean a float issue...what needle/seat you using in your carb?

Experiencing a stalling problem with one of the L78 4spd cars. Car stalls when you brake for a stop, but starts right again up when you hit the key. Runs fine down the road but feels a little funy when you hit the brakes. Any comments... wilma [/ QUOTE ] Maybe this is the problem, Got to push that clutch in   http://www.whtc.com/Shared/Auto/tuto...earnstick.html

Re: Engine Stalls...
Got an email with some info from the 2nd owner of the car. He had he same problem and was convinced it was electrical in nature. The car acted this way on a number of occasions when I first got it. I have sinced changed the carb to a #'s unit for originality. And it still does the same thing, but it seems worse. I am really starting to think there is some wire that is pinched on braking, or .....??? went for a ride tonite and it screams down the road, but come to quick stop and.....that's it! I plan on jacking up the car and checking all wires near the back of engine, harness, etc.

Re: Engine Stalls...
How about the fusible link? My Nova had the wire short out after some chafing. Did the same thing that you described...until it shorted out and blew the fuse!

Re: Engine Stalls...
Disconnect the brake light switch,could have a short in switch or in wiring to the switch causing a feedback or something.Sounds like a electrical problem to me!
