After driving the car for a while and I stop at a light, my car begins to drop rpms and will then die if I do not blip the gas. Rebuilt carb, and distributor, new plugs and ignition bits.

I'm going to try the brake fluid spray on the manifold trick to see if the engine changes sounds while idling.<div>Cheers<br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">Ira Erbs<div>Portland,OR</div><div><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman',serif" data-mce-style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"> _______ _______</span><br style="font-family:'Times New Roman',serif" data-mce-style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman',serif" data-mce-style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"> (______ \____1959 BN4____/ _______)</span><br style="font-family:'Times New Roman',serif" data-mce-style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman',serif" data-mce-style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"> (_________________________)</span></div><div> BT7 engine and disk brakes</div><div><strong style="margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px;outline:0px;font-size:14px;vertical-align:baseline;background:rgb(0,0,0);color:rgb(255,255,255);font-family:sans-serif" data-mce-style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 14px; vertical-align: baseline; background: #000000; color: #ffffff; font-family: sans-serif;">Aerodynamics are for people who can’t build engines.</strong><span style="color:rgb(255,255,255);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;background-color:rgb(0,0,0)" data-mce-style="color: #ffffff; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; background-color: #000000;"> – </span><em style="margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px;outline:0px;font-size:14px;vertical-align:baseline;background:rgb(0,0,0);color:rgb(255,255,255);font-family:sans-serif" data-mce-style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 14px; vertical-align: baseline; background: #000000; color: #ffffff; font-family: sans-serif;">Enzo Ferrari</em><br></div><div>Please excuse random auto corrects and misspelled words</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><br>_______________________________________________<br><br><div><br></div></div><div><br></div></div></body></html>
