280Z Auto stalls when put into gear
My son and I were looking at a '76 today that is an auto trans car. The guy said it wouldn't idle - with a twist of the dizzy and tightening the bolt I fixed that. There is the usual bad rubber under the hood but I managed to get the car to idle smoothly. Mechanically it seems fine with the exception of it dieing as soon as I put it in gear. The guy is asking $950 for and I think the body is solid enough for a rebuild/restore. Not having any experience with the auto trans on the Z what should I look for to correct the issue?

Did you check the tranny fluid color & level? It may or may not be related to the transmission. If one of the sensors is out of wack, as soon as there is a load, the engine might not have enough "umph" to move. The TPS, AFM, or timing could cause that.
