Picked up excellent 63 Chelle, but it has one problem, probably with powerglide transmission
engine stalls when placed in gear unless idle is at 2,000 rpm minimum.
already checked for vacuum leaks and intake leaks.
timing checks good, dwell is slightly out of tolerance (not enough to matter).
engine relatively new - less than 2,000 mi
As long as PRNDL selector is in drive or reverse, the transmission appears to be always engaged, attempting to move the car. Idling must be at 2,000 rpm to stop with the transmission in gear. Obviously, atthat rpm, the car is shuddering, attempting to pull against the brakes.
Suggestions??
