    Engine Surging in Drive with Brake Applied
    « on: April 16, 2017 - 07:38:24 PM »
    Hi Gents - 71' Cuda with 383 automatic.   Has new Carb (QF 750) / Summit magnetic dizzy.  With my foot on the brake at a stoplight, the engine surges.   The car idles, cruises and accelerates fine.   Little Help?

    Too high an idle speed?

    I'm the last person to ask questions regarding tuning but...I'm pretty sure this problem can occur if the idle speed is high AND the mechanical advance springs in the distributor are light.  Basically, the timing wants to advance even at an idle.  Maybe I'm way off but I seem to remember reading about this.

    Do you have power brakes? Could be a leaking vacuum booster. If it idles correctly in neutral/park, then the booster could be the culprit.
