it will rev fine and seems to run quite happily as long as its not in gear. it will handle acceleration fine until the time you hit the brakes.

it does this in both reverse and drive, whenever the tranny is locked in to place. this only happens when coming to a complete stop, you can slow down to about 5-10 mph before this starts
the E-brake cable is non existent on this car, its heater core leaked while it was in storage and rotted the floors to nothing, so when the floors fell through, so did the support to the brake cable, (it on my huge list of things to fix) the brake light is on, in the dash, the previous owner was a mechanic and swapped all the brake lines and fittings, and rebuilt the brake housings. so im thinking its simply linked to the proportional valve being uncentered, the rear wheels will lockup well before the front stops rolling. when this last ran it was very warm, around 80 degrees, this started when it started to get colder, do i have to adjust the carb for weather differences?



also when it does stall, it doesnt just labor like stalling a standard trans, it kinda struggles and will drop rpms slowly, then sound out of tune when the rpms are about to drop. but theres no noise from the trans or the rear, it just simply quits. even when its really close to stalling, its usually able to stay running if i let off the brake or kick the gas a smidge,

thanks for your thoughts, i really appreciate the help, im not a gearhead, mostly a tinkerer, i got the car for around 2000$ in running shape, with alot of new mechanics already on the car.
