Default Re: Engine Stalling when Braking

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Plowman</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Try the fire wall fuse block connectors [on the engine bay side]. I think there is a bolt that hold's half of it tight. See if it is loose. Also see if it is clean inside. </div></div>

I'm thinking this plug too and better yet may be undoing it from the engine side to inspect and clean the connections..
Some of these were a 3/8&quot; bolt head and the engine side splits into separate sections that go to their respective assys...engine, nose lamp harness etc..
Check any other connections @ the firewall too as perhaps the mechanical side of brake application is flexing the metal enough to alter a ground or connection somewhere?.

Have you tried remotely grounding the engine to chassis/body w/ a booster cable yet?.
Also was the ignition dash lite on regardless of key position when you hotwired the coil?.
Lastly, when it quits and you immediately check the carb is there fuel at first pump and lots w/ subsequent pumps too?.
