[Chrysler300] 300G idling problem

[Kenny Cassady <kennycassady@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey group,

I have an issue with my '61 G and am hoping for some diagnostic advice.  The
car is completely stock, except for an electronic ignition (Pertronix I
believe).

When idling after warm up, the idle fluctuates, like a wave, up and down, as
if somebody where nudging the accelerator pedal up and down.  This, and an
apparent vacuum leak coming from somewhere that hasn't been identified yet
(or maybe they're the same issue), seem to be contributing to a stalling
problem when stopped, especially problematic when switching gears, like in a
parking lot (not a problem when driving at speed though, only when idling).
I don't have the facility or equipment for this kind of work, so my mechanic
is working on it, and going through the step by step process of elimination
to figure it out.  He's already replaced the distributor cap (worn) and
spark plugs (fouled, and wrong kind of plugs according to him).

Just thought I'd see if anybody has had any experience with this particular
issue(s) and might offer some advice to help in locating the problem.  Thank
you in advance.  Have a great weekend.
