Torque Converter Problems?

Normally i adjust thr carb with the engine fully warmed and in P. I can readjust the carb with the car in D but like I said the engine seems great its just when I come to a stop after driving the engine feels like it's being held up and just dies.

I will check the compression, its been on my list of things to do. Maybe the vacume advance mechanism on the dist is getting caught up and not returning to where it should be?
