As you make adjustment to the mixture screws, give it a few seconds to find the new setting, then adjust the idle speed screw (throttle plate) to the recommended idle speed, usually around 700-800 RPM in gear. Repeat until motor is happy with vacuum and idle.

That is true....once had a problem where the engine idles great in neutral but always died when i put it into gear. Spent countless hours swapping parts. Turned out it was an advance spring inside the distributor that broke!

Is it an alpha or bravo drive? Alpha uses a shift interrupter that interrupts the ignition.
