There is the key. What has been done/changed since the last time it ran properly? You stated this is a new combination...did you by any chance add/change any timing related or ignition components?

Just engine combo long block? Went from a 355 to a 406. Same Heads Intake and Carb for the last 15 years.

My point was carb's don't just go bad/quit working overnight. Unless it has sit idle for a very long time with old fuel I would tend to look elsewhere first. Someone suggested earlier trying another carb for effect...way less time consuming and a quick way to eliminate one potential area.

Car drops 700 rpm when going from neutral to first gear and will eventually die. It gets worse when the car is at operating temp. Ignition?

Please Help.

I`m sure you`ve already looked for vacuum leaks....

I had the same issue with a 750dp on my wagon. It turned out to be the transfer slot on the secondary's. I bought an adjustable 1 to 1 linkage for the carb. While it look to be adjusted correctly on the bench but when I attached the quick disconnect linkage to the carb it pulled the secondary butterflies just enough to cover the transfer slot. I put the original bent metal part back on problem was corrected. Good luck.
