<VV> "bucking" question

[LonzoVair at aol.com]

That was my thinking Harry... you never know what hillbillies these guys  
talk to around here... my first thought was his idle speed (since he said it  
happens at stop signs and stop lights) and then I thought ignition/points, 
since  I had a bad points plate and wore out points block do that years 
ago...  although it would do that at stops and sometimes on acceleration... but 
a TC?  (Dare I say it? Sure....) Never on a Corvair.
:-)
He'll be stopping by around noon, so I'll be seeing then.
Thanks everyone!!! I'll let you know what I find out.
Lonzo

I don't  think it's the torque converter.
Whom ever told him that is thinking mid  eighty's GM products that had a 
sticking torque converter solenoid which  could/would cause 
bucking/stalling 
at low speeds.
