Slant Six stalling when foot on brake & engine warm - transmission issue?

This happens only when you step on the brake? Or is it actually when you take your foot off the accelerator? If you were to put chocks in front of the wheels, start the car, and shift into Drive without touching the brake, would the problem occur? Or not until you step on the brake? What happens if you're driving along and you shift to Neutral before stepping on the brake to bring the car to a stop? What happens if you step on the brake while the car's in Reverse rather than Drive?

ATF+4 is fine. Dexron-VI is superior in every respect, but not enough so to warrant spending the time, effort, and money to go draining out your ATF+4 and replacing it with Dex-6. These transmissions are highly tolerant of crummy fluids; they'll even last a long time with an archaic, inferior-across-the-board fluid like Type-F, so don't fret about it. If you eventually have occasion to drain the transmission and torque converter, pick a reputable brand of Dex-6 (Mopar will even sell it to you, if you want).
If i put it in neutral before stopping the engine goes to warm idle and its fine. If I put it in drive or reverse without the brake on it runs and drives forward fine. If the brake is on when I swap to reverse or drive it quits or near quits. I did not try a wheel chock approach yet but I can. I just re-adjusted idle mixture and idle speed to the manuals instructions and it didn't help; bit lower rpm now but same story otherwise. Weather permitting, I'll check timing and do plugs tomorrow.

Did the '64 torque converter have the lock-up feature?
