Depending on the other specs of the cam, I could see needing a higher idle to keep it smoother and stable- sounds like its a pretty large cam. As far as it dieing when you put it in drive, does it stumble or anything- or just shuts off the second you put it in drive? I mean can you give it a little gas to get through it, or is it just an instant shut off?

Its gonna be hard for us to tell you anything easily though- I mean it could be a leaking gasket, damage to the engine, improperly tuned carb, electrical prob- there is a lot of stuff.

Assuming you two are not the same person; you really need to start a new thread to get help with your problem. It'll avoid clogging the OP's thread with other info; and it'll make searching easier in the future for others who may have the same question (especially if you include a proper descriptive title).

to the OP

Have you checked your vacuum lines for any leaks?

Just a thought.
