I'm gonna take us back to when my barracuda was a 273 car. It would run fine until it reached what I would call operating temp. At this point it would start "bogging down" prompting me to put it in neutral at the lights, lights change, put it back in drive & she stalls, starts up right away and away you go, next lights same thing. Now move forward 2 years, I have a 340 in there, new carb, ignition, most things new but the same thing is the trans & convertor & I have the same problem. Is my convertor stalling to low when it gets to operating temp causing the engine to stall when I put it back in drive at the lights. I have held the brake on hard & revved the engine in drive and I believe the stall is around 1800. This is long winded so I will add some more later if you need me to.
Starts idling rough when warmed up

Intake leak?

Sounds like dirt in the carb.
What kind of carb?

The stall speed would go higher with temps increase, so I think you have a different issue also.
Thankyou all for the replies. Its winter in Australia so I doubt its the fuel percolating. The amazing thing is it did the same thing with a completely different engine, carb, intake...different everything except the trans & convertor. Actually it was the same ignition, anyone think timing could go out when hot?

Mopar igniton box , the orange ones due that a lot ?
Mmmm it is the chrome one but I wonder if it is getting to much heat cos I have it mounted on the fire wall above the back of the motor, I might put a heat sink of some sort behind it to pull some heat away
