IML: '61 Idling Trouble

["Eric" <gearhead@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Anthony,
I'm not very familiar with the bellows type of brake booster, however if it 
has a vacuum hose running to it, removing it from the booster and plugging 
it then seeing if the problem persists was how I diagnosed a similar running 
trouble w/a later Chrysler of mine. This test will eliminate one potential 
problem. Let us know how this progresses.

Hi; Look for a Vacuum Leak. Bad gasket, spilt hose, even the intake manifold
gasket.

Hi;

I have a 1961 Imperial. It had set for over 20 years in a building. I have
a idling problem. I have had the gas tank cleaned and sealed and replaced
the metal gas line, fuel pump and fuel bowl. I have rebuilt the carburetor
and had it checked by another mechanic. I have replaced the plugs, wires,
points dist cap and rotor, vacuum lines and had the starter rebuilt.

Here is the situation.

It starts right up and sounds powerful and smooth but idles too high. I
cannot get the idle down. When it does warm up it will stall and then shut
off. Up to that point it runs very nicely powerful and very smooth.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Anthony
