I rebuilt the carb, and the car began to run properly with still a few warming up issues due to the car not running in months. Within a day or two, i am experiencing very similar problems i had before the rebuilt. The car would would begin to die out every time i slowed down, and when it would come to a complete stop, it would be definitely die out.
Could this be due to possible vacuum leaks as said before? I have replaced many of the lines already. Any last suggestions would be great, and thank you to anyone that has already given their inputs.

It sounds like your problem develops after you warm up, it really sounds like a vacuum leak after warm up, hows the condition of your intake manifold gaskets ? I hate to suggest this to anyone, but do you know how to check for vac leaks with propane ? I know Iam crazy, its not safe, Mopar forums doesn't suggest using propane, just the crazy Canuck...

Propane is one of the best ways to check, most of the suggestions I give or have heard given are much safer, but propane is easier.
After the rebuild will it idle cold? If its not idling you may need to adjust the air/fuel mixture.

i didnt read the whole thred. matbe the brake booster has a hole in it? pull the hose plug it... drive it be carefull cuz your brakes will be hard to push. and see it the booster is bad. or you can use a vacumm pump on the booster if you have one.

Too funny, people are the same everywhere..hahaha. It's surprising the # of people even gearheads that haven't seen that and they freak....love it. I take the torch tip off and slide on a length of fuel line, then I can pin point the propane.
