Hello, I'm new here :)

I have had a 66 mustang for about 3 weeks, and I have driven it twice. It is a 200ci coupe, Autolite 1100, new fuel tank, new Pertronix II ignition. When I first drove it home, it died 6 times. Here's what it does: When I slow down to to a stop (stop sign or red light) it will start "hiccuping" - I think it is missing. I then go to hit the gas, and it just dies. I put in new spark plugs and wires, and they are all gapped correctly. I rebuilt the carb last night, and put it in. All the hoses are hooked up, but it is doing the same thing. This time, I didn't drive it, but I revved it up, then let off the gas, and it just died.

If you have ANY suggestions, please just throw them in here. Heck, if you know a lot about engines and think you can solve it, I will pay you to come here and help :) :)

I have had about 4 guys over here but still no luck. We can't figure it out. Thanks

Sorry - I changed the coil and also took out the points and condenser and put in the new one (from Pertronix). I have not checked timing. When it's driving and I'm hitting the gas, it drives okay - but not from start. From start, it bogs down and then just sorta snaps with a lot of power. Other than that, I've only driven it twice because of this, so I'm not sure about it under load.
