You guys have bailed me out a number of times and I appreciate the help. My
totally stock late 74 is shutting down when I come to or nearly comes to a
stop. It still has all the smog stuff it came with. Worse in warm weather.
It first started coming off the track at Fire Bird a couple of years ago.
Flipped it in neutral came to a stop but it started right up as it always
does. It has gotten a lot worse. Very hard to park it at a car show. Just
dies. Doesn't do it every time but almost. Put pertronix  in it but no
change. It will go like heck at any speed with no problems. Starts up cold
fine. Choke works fine. Kicks down when warm. Then after it gets warmed up
the problem starts. Any ideas?
