Idle issue

Ok I have an odd but annoying issue. I have a 1984 Cameron z28 HO. Its the L69 engine with 4 barrel. First let me make this note: engines runs perfect all the time except when I come to a stop on a down hill the engine idle drops to like 400 rpm and runs rough for like 3 seconds then fixes it self and idles perfect at a usual 800 rpm. This never happens when stopping on flat or up hill. I can get it to do it sometimes on flat if I stop really hard. Any ideas?

Re: Idle issue

Sounds like a carb float adjustment/setting issue
