I start my car up and it sounds awesome. As soon as I shift the engine gets real quiet and almost sounds like its about to stall. Any suggestions what I can do? I heard maybe something with the carburetor. I am new to this so anything will help/
 
You dont say anything about what year, what engine. So hard to guess. How many miles since the car had a tuneup, depending on year could be points, condenser, air filter, fuel filter,etc.
 
Its a 327 engine with a 400 transmission. Not too sure I had just bought the car the other day.
 
So if you dont know assuming it's a points distributor as opposed to electronic, adjust the points, set the timing, check the spark plugs, and adjust the carburetor. You didnt get any maintenance records?
 
No he said he did all the work himself and everything :rolleyes: I will try that thank you!
 
Did you not test the car out before you bought it?
