What's the idle speed? Check what your vacuum readings are. Try bumping up 
the idle.

Hey Ya'll,
   A couple months ago, I e-mailed in with the problem of me accidentally 
flipping my corvair into reverse while driving forward at about 35 mph 
coming to a stop light. Well, This past Saturday and the Saturday before 
that was spent working on the engine. New vacuum lines were attached to new 
carburetors with new carb spacers (which weren't there before) and new carb 
gaskets. New fuel lines were installed, a new-matching-distributor was place 
in with new points, cap, lines, and plugs. I put in a new engine mount due 
to the fact that mine was broken. I put on a new manifold on the right side 
with new donuts to the heads. Valve adjustments, carb syncing, and timing 
were adjusted. New heater hoses were installed and currently I'm working on 
putting the thermostats, rods, and doors together so the engine can regulate 
it air flow underneath itself. The problem I'm having right now is putting 
the car in gear. When I'm at a dead stop while the car is in gear (like 
waiting at a traffic light), the engine dies. Every time it looks like I 
have to stop, I flip it into neutral before stops, so the engine continues 
to runs and I have to put a little charge of gas into the engine while in 
neutral before flipping it into gear and going on my way. This problem is 
very irritating and I'm setting myself up for another flip-it-into-reverse 
problem. My Dad also suspects that there is a higher performance cam in the 
car; does that conflict with anything? Please send advice, thanks!

In Christ
