Hello

The 1964 shop manual has an illustration, with a vague description, of an anti-stall dashpot . This is missing from my car, and although ye olde Holley carb is not tuned properly yet, my car wants to stall when I stop and go. Everything is grand if I'm doing above 40 mph. I wonder how necessary the anti-stall dapshot is, and if that is a part of a problem. The shop manual suggests that after adjustment - put the car in N, turn it off, then connect the vacuum power line to the vacuum power unit of the automatic parking brake assembly. My car does not automatically release the parking brake when I shift, as it should, so I suspect a vacuum mis-fire somewhere.

My questions are:

I. Is the anti-stall dashpot necessary, and is the fact that it's missing an indicator as to why I have to two foot it around town?

II. Where is the vacuum power unit of the automatic parking brake assembly?

III. Does anyone know what the cut, dangling line from the passenger side firewall belongs to? It is not grouped with the other vacuum lines - from an opening closer to the right hood hinge.

I'd appreciate any insight into these questions. Thanks
