Has anyone every had this issue? My 66 352 with MSD ignition idles fine but it dies as soon as I put it in gear. It started doing it one day last week after out driving it around. I got home and parked it in the driveway, when I came out later to pull it in the garage it started doing this.

Vacuum leak is what it sounds like to me. Do you have any rubber plugs on the carb ? I've seen them crack and make so wierd things happen.

Thats what I thought too. I sprayed carb cleaner all around checking for vacuum leaks. I sprayed the rubber plugs too. I will try to get some more of the rubber plugs and try them.

Does the dizzy have magnetic pickup?, I had a similar problem with my MSD Billet dizzy.

What Alan said !
Also check for broken or bare wire in the dizzy.

I fixed it (bonehead) when I replaced my distributer cap I was off by 1 in the order so the timing was advanced. I put the wires back in the correct spots and it fired right up and ran just fine.

We all have those moments.

Glad you got it fixed.
