    1960 stalls in traffic

    I have a dual quad 270 hp 1960 vette. Motor is totally rebuilt. Have AC 45's plugs in it. It runs great, but does not like traffic. When I am in traffic for 15 mins, idle just drops till the car stalls. After it runs on the road for 10-15 mins, it idles fine again. Temp never goes over 170. Has a 160 thermostart. Seems like the carbs/fuel is getting hot? Blocked off the crossover in the intake, and do not have a heat riser. I have some asbestos gaskets for the carb someone suggested. Any ideas? If I put it in neutral and give it gas it seems ok.

    sounds like you need to explore a too rich fuel/ air mix. Blue deposits in tailpipes when it idles and stalls? mike
