<DIV>You mention “idling” below but is that at 2,000 RPM as initially stated (or
has that ben solved)? Does the car idle properly (assumed 600-800 RPM)
once it is warmed up? It might be that the idle adjustment screw (for the
throttle, not the idle fuel mixture) is not adjusted properly. When the
choke is “On” there is a stepped piece that opens the primary throttle plates
(more than the normal idle position). So, where as when the choke plate closes
at the top..., the throttle plates open more than normal. This may be why
the car is starting and running at 2,000 RPM. However, when you open the choke
the stepped idle speed piece moves to a position where the throttle plates are
(fully) closed and the engine dies.</DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr>It's definitely a vacuum leak. I plugged up all of the ports
on the carb and the port on the intake manifold that goes to the break booster
and nothing changed. So I pulled off the carb and the spacer that goes
between the carb and the manifold and looked it over really good and didn't see
anything obvious. I reinstalled the carb without the spacer and it runs
fine now. I'm waiting for it to cool down and I'll put the spacer back in
and see what happens.

<DIV>Of course, while I had it idling I noticed that the temperature gauge on
the dash was getting over 225. I'm not sure how accurate that is and it
never boiled over. I'll get out my laser temp gun and poke around a little
bit. </DIV>

<DIV>Thanks for everybody's guidance.</DIV>
