RPM has been checked with the tach and a timing light digital tach. both are in sync. I can hold the brakes and bring up the RPM with the accelerator. I can keep the car running by holding the brake and gas to keep the RPM up and drive away just fine. if i come to a stop and let it stay in gear...
I performed a test on the car last night. got the car on jack stands and let it warm up. Idle in park was 1100 rpm (as it has always been) dropped it in gear with the brakes on an the idle dropped to 350. Released the brakes and as the wheels began to move the RPM went up to 900 (which is what...
cam looked good when the intake was removed to replace the valley pan last week. no visible burn marks or wear, lifters and rods were tight, rebuilt the eddy 750, I went thru everything that may cause a drop in RPM wile under load in gear. timing is steady like it has been for 20 years set at 12...
69 charger, 440 .303 over, 425hp 727 auto, 3:23 gears, I was thinking Huges. On their site the nearest thy have to what I was running is a 2500 stall. I have tried one in the past that was 3000-3200 stall and the car absolutely hated it.
Since october my car drops from a normal 900 rpm in gear...
440 with 484/284 cam presently running a 2800 stall converter. I need to replace the converter would like something from 2500-2800 stall. Who make the best affordable converter? I do not remember who I purchased my current one from(cant find the paperwork) but I know it had a range of 2500-2800...
I am installing a new valley pan on a 440 after discovering a vacuum leak below the intake manifold. My pan came with 4 paper gaskets, I am not planning on using them since I did not have the before. I have stock heads with an aluminum M1 intake. I plan to use permatex black rtv on the end...
My plans right now is to put my Firecore Distributor back in, it was set and built to my timing and specification and has been working great for two years now. with 24 degrees advance in to so my base is set to 12 for 36 all in, I can bump up to 14 with 38 all in but I need to get it to run...
Metering rods move as they should, I have had the same timing for over 15 years never had an issue, so I am really not willing to change that since this problem happened out of the blue and the timing was checked and remained the same.
I am working on getting another carb to try from a friend. I have tried most of the suggestions and nothing has solved the problem. Its extremely frustrating and my car budget is non existant right now.
I really appreciate all the advise and help, thank you guys.
I am still stuck though. I would like to know if anyone else has had this stalling when in gear issue. This was a sudden thing, happened when driving home from a cruise night at a traffic light it would just not idle in gear. dropped...

Timing at idle is 12 degrees with 36 all in at 2800-3000 rpm. This thing has run great with this timing for years. never had this Idle drop out in gear before. The distrubutor (both that i have) have check out fine, with advance working. They even worked in a friends car as they are...
I believe it is something simple, just cant find it. my power brakes operate off an electric vacuum pump so no motor connection there. I checked the lines from the distributor advance to the carb (tight no leaks, checked that with a vacuum pump and guage), same for the PVC. I still have the...
O.K. my setup for this car may seem out of wack but with the 484/284 cam my best street idle in gear is from 850-900 rpm. I have driven it set this way since i put the 440 in it back in November of 2000. The car is happy there, runs great, and it drove from GA to upstate NY several times with...
update, on my idle drop when put in gear. I have had a little time to start going thru this car. Timing is correct, no distributor issues (for either one I have put in), I have installed a new fuel filter (much needed) and replaced my new coil for one that was known to be good, also changed the...
I will as soon as I can get a helper. the whistle is only when the car is idling in gear. not in park.
could the fuel pump not be keeping up when the car is in gear? I can rev it smoothing to 3000 rpm in park and neutral, under load its completely different. since this happened when driving...
