hi i am new to this forum. i'm glad i found it , its really nice.

anyways, i recently purchased a great 66t-bird with a 390 engine in it. i gave it a tune up last week, it drives real smooth, the only thing is that when i am sitting idle at a red light, it sometimes wants to shut off, and if i dont put one foot on the gas pedal a little bit it does. also, when i take off from being stopped, if i push down more than 1/4 on the accelerator, it stalls. i have to go real easy for the first few seconds and then after i get going a bit its fine.

any suggestions would be appreciated. before i bought it it sat garaged for over 6 yrs. my friends think its either the carb needs to be rebuilt or the top dead center is off. if its TDC, does anyone know the degrees for hte peak?

thanks a lot everyone. :confused:
