360 chrysler dies at idle after speed run

Post by bssmnbll »

the 360's in my 76' F32 run fine till you get to the dock. Then, they like to die at idle. Anybody got any ideas??

When you first start them up at the dock and leave, are they fine? Could be the advance components in the distributor not returning to idle position when you throttle back. Probably rusted etc. Could also be carb idle circuit issue.
