Default project progress

hey guys, i finnally got ms daisy running but one thing is keeping her from being street worthy. project ladder (i know its not much but this is my first project so cut me some slack):

towed her to my dorms non running- done
replaced POS 2bbl carb to edelbrock 4bbl- done
brand new radiator and hoses- done
cranked it up today and she started and cut off when i let off the gas, so i tightened the fuel air screw a lil to reduce air intake, and she stays running now.
soooo i adventured in puttting it in gear with E-brakes on- she cut off
took off E brake and steped on the brake and put it in gear- cut off again
so i cleared the parking lot and put her in reverse with a little step on gas and she stayed running as i switched gears to drive but as soon as i engage brakes while in gear, she cuts off. but always starts right back up.
i know some people would say ruptured brake booster but its not that because my brakes work fine and are far from hitting the floor. anyway my progress got me . but i still need to get her driveable

newer pics later
