Default Engine Stalls

Hello,
I recently found and bought my dream car, a '65 Mustang Coupe. I tried
taking her out for a drive and discovered that the car stalls when you
hit the brake. I stoped for a stop sign and when I went to press on the
gas, the engine stalled. I was able to make it out of the intersection
though. I went over some receipts the previous owners had. He had the
same problem. He had the carb rebuilt but it still stalls out. Any
suggestions as to the cause?

sounds like a possible vacuum leak to me, check hoses, carb gasket, intake
gasket....
