Red face 67' 250S Driving in Gear Idle

Hi all, thanks for your help in the past. Took my 250S for a 45 minute drive tonight.. Runs like a champ.......what a cool car. Has quite a bit of power, and idles smooth.. Took it up to 50 mph today, and it ran smooth. Way cool old car.

I thought I had all the bugs worked out, but it seems to idle faster when it gets a little warmer, and it died 1 time after I ran it for almost an hour. Temp is at 175 consistantly. Any thoughts on why it idles faster?? or dies when it's warm? Thanks

Dave

dashpot issues maybe?

Funny thing happened tonight........The car runs perfect without the dashpot hooked up. I ordered a new dashpot, and have 2 old ones. None work on it. I guess I'll run the car withou the dashpot and see what happens.....

I don't see what it could hurt.
