Hey everybody I have a nineteen sixty six in line six from a falcon. It has had a stalling issue since I got it, but it has gotten better. Initially , it was stalling when it would be hot outside or after sitting, so anything over Seventy eight degrees outside it would just stall and I would have to pull the choke so it would move. I have replaced the fuel pump, Carburetor, And more recently the points in the distributor. Now it only stalls if it is sitting and it hits two hundred and five degrees or more ( Please keep a mind the outside temperature at this point is in the hundreds)it Cranks right back up thankfully, that is no longer an issue.I am going to install an additional electric fan that runs off a temp relay for on at 185 and off at 165. But I am looking for additional suggestions.And i'm also kind of concerned that this might be a sign of a larger issue within the motor so also looking for opinions on that. Thanks.
 
How is your vacuum advance at idle? If you don’t have advanced timing at idle it may be sending raw fuel down the exhaust. I’m not sure what ignition system you have, is it a Load O Matic?

It is the load o matic and I recently deleted the points. That helped a ton. Honestly I've not checked anything regarding the vacuum system.
