Nailhead question

[onelow48]

I am new to Nailheads. I am having a problem with it stalling out when at a red light. I am going to check the plugs, wires, and vacume lines. Any other ideas? Its a 401
in a 63. Someone said the caps go bad alot on nailheads.
Anything to look for? I love the motor in car. I have already thought about pulling the sbc in my 48 GMC and putting a Nailhead in it.

What's the idle speed? Stalls only when hot? Cold? Both? Stalls in gear? Outta gear?

Hot and cold. When I start it, it starts right up and then
it runs ruff. I will tap the pedal and it smooths out.
When driving I stop at light it stalls in gear. I will put it back in gear and it will start right up in snap. It has been cold hear. Below 30.

Fraz I need to correct what I typed. It only does it when its cold. Sorry about that.

Hehe, join the club. Check your choke, make sure it's working. Adjusted mine, it now stay running when cold.
