Idleing problem
I have a 351M with a edelbrock 1406 carb, and edelbrock intake manifold. Engine runs fine going down the road, but when I pull up to a stop it almost dies and has a slow rough idle. Take it out of gear, or put it in park it idles fine. Carb was just rebuilt any ideas on what this might be?

Sounds like the idle screws are set on too rich, try tight them 1/2 turn each to see what happens...
