Don't think I'd spray brake fluid on the manifold ... could get messy (and =

Now that I seem to have sorted the ignition issue I have another problem. A=
fter driving the car for a while and I stop at a light, my car begins to dr=
op rpms and will then die if I do not blip the gas. Rebuilt carb, and distr=
ibutor, new plugs and ignition bits. Could a manifold leak cause this? 3 AM=
 thoughts on the problem. I'm going to try the brake fluid spray on the man=
ifold trick to see if the engine changes sounds while idling.=20
