Angry Stalling!!!!!!

Seems that my '86 truck does not like the rain. When its wet or damp out and I push in the clutch and step on the brake to stop the thing stalls. Any suggestions on where to start looking for the problem?

Stalling!!!!!!

If you have a carb, make sure the warm air pipe and the flapper door are working on the air cleaner snorkel.

If you have EFI, or you have a carb and the air cleaner is working, check your spark plug and high tension leads going to the coil for bad insulation and green corrosion. Also look under the hood at night to see if you see any sparking near the plug wires.
