why would need a parts car? that 88 is about as reliable as they come.

clean your old one for now

the choke could be the problem if it is very cold when you are putting the choke in. it should usually stay out for just a little bit. being too rich will also make it die at idle. if the exhuast smells much worse then your 300, it's probably rich. also rich if it blows any black smoke, or if you are able turn the jet screws in any without causing a hesitation when you hit the throttle, you might be a redneck... i mean running rich.

could also just be that your carbs are too dirty to keep the car running when it has so little momentum, so if you havn't rebuilt your carbs, you may want to.
