Car shuts off when put in drive

73,
I just got back in from trying your suggestions, and now the car seems to be running OK...when I drop it into gear, it doesn't shut off at all.

Although the float gas levels seemed to be fine, I noticed that the float drop was seriously off...it's supposed to be 15/16" at the far end of the float, but both of mine were in the range of 1.25"...over 1/4" too deep. I readjusted the tabs to get them back to 15/16", used a small probe to clean and air to blow all the tubes and vents out, and cleaned the bowls and accel pump chamber. I also unplugged the choke (what the hell, it can't hurt).

As of right now, it's running a lot better....tomorrow will be a telling day, since I have to drive it 60 miles round-trip to work and back, in traffic and on the open road.

I'll check in tomorrow evening and let you know how it worked out!

Thanks,
Rob
