302 Engine. I recently bought a 1966 Ford Fairlane Convertible, that has the 289 badges, but is actually running a 302. Non-Electronic ignition - has points and condenser.
Stalls when warm and in gear. Runs fine in neutral or park, just stalls when the tranny is engaged at idle once the engine is warm.

Adjusting the points isn't going to solve that
The idle speed might just be too low.
