Engine Stalls

Aug 11, 2006 2 Replies

Hello, I recently found and bought my dream car, a '65 Mustang Coupe. I tried taking her out for a drive and discovered that the car stalls when you hit the brake. I stoped for a stop sign and when I went to press on the gas, the engine stalled. I was able to make it out of the intersection though. I went over some receipts the previous owners had. He had the same problem. He had the carb rebuilt but it still stalls out. Any suggestions as to the cause?



idle adjustment, carb cleaner, not sure what else.

sounds like a possible vacuum leak to me, check hoses, carb gasket, intake gasket....
