Thanks.

you will need to have the carburator rebuilt and should get a tune up aswell

yes basically there usually held on with a couple of bolts

the engine tickover is too slow when the engine is cold its running on cold start, ie:choke,, after it warms up the engine slows down this is what is causing it to stall in gear,, get some one to hold the brakes hard on and with the engine running in gear ajust the tick over till its reving at 750 - 850 rpm the revs will go up a bit when its out of gear,, before you pick a gear to go into push the foot brake down to stop the car lurching,,,

If it works well at speed and acts up when slowing or stopped it doesn't sound like fuel filter or pump. You can try running injector cleaner through the engine to clean the carborator injectors or fuel injectors if you have those. Look at replacing the plugs and wires on the motor.

My 1996 Astro does the same thing... It has new fuel pump, fuel filter, plugs, wires, cap, rotor, maf sensor, ignition coil, alt., battery, cat converter, im stumped...

Most common cause of stalling for Lincolns in that era is the TPS (Throttle Position Sensor). It regulates fuel mixture, idle speed etc. A bad TPS will usually act up in one of two ways:

1. When cold, car continually stalls
2. When warm, car stalls when slowing down (especially if AC is on)

As far as valve cover oil leak, it's a problem that should be addressed to keep oil from fouling your spark plugs but highly unlikely to be the cause of your stalling problem. Hope this answers your question. All the best.

The fual pump is bad, you need to change it.

Change the IAC the idle air control. You may be able to clean it and put it back on.
