Why does my 1972 pontiac Le mans stall out when I stop the car?

Question:
I have A 1972 Pontiac luxury le mans car that has 71,000 original miles on it, and i just bought it 5 days agao from a guy who owns a auto body shop. He had it in car shows because he has done so much work to it. it has a 350 v8 engine and its an automatic. Today I drove it keeping it under 55mph and when i drove into town, it started to cut off at stoplights or when i have to slow done below 10mph or so. Its not smoking or smelling funny. It was low on coolant so i took it to a mechanic and he helped me add coolant. tyen it sat for 6 hours while i as at work and then I started the engine and it basically did the same thing. What could this be? Jill

Answers:

What do you do if your car keeps smoking and water dissapears from the car.?

i would start with the basic tune up, plugs cap rotor and wires, and DOUBLE CHECK ENGINE RPM, ill bet the loaded idle, runing with the transmission in gear, is just too low to maintain momentum

My back seats in my 95 eclipse are soaked for no reason can someone please tell me what it is?

It maybe the carb needs adjusting. Idle set too low.
