Had this happen twice, exact same conditions. I don't want to get stranded somewhere....
Pulling up to a stop the car stalls (thankfully both times in driveways).
It will cranks and VERY occasionally fire on 1 cylinder, but most of the time won't even try. I've tried holding my foot to the floor, giving it gas, all the tricks in the book.
It has spark at the coil at this time
After it cools off a little for 5-10 minutes it restarts and runs fine.
I'm leaning towards a carb issue since it had good spark...but it's just so strange, anyone hear of a problem like this? I don't need it happening to me at an inconvenient time or place (like in camden).
82 FORD LTD 351w with a 2150 carb that was recently rebuilt.
