Default 1968 Bug for Sale... Maybe

I have a really great 68 bug, I'm the third owner and it is in great
condition. All it really needs is paint, rubber and running boards to get
it looking like it's original condition. I have the original owners
manuals, including the AM transistor Radio manual. I recently put a 1600cc
rebuilt engine in, the interior is great. I purchased it a couple of years
back as my primary means of transportation and started getting it
restored/cleaned up for fun. My wife wanted me to have something a bit
safer, so I purchase another vehicle. Therefore, I really one drive the bug
occasionally on weekends. I have a for sale sign up on it but have not
tried really hard to sell it (I really do not want to...) However, the wife
is wearing thin on it..

I have one minor mechanical problem that I would like to correct prior to
selling it (if I do) and was wondering if anyone out there might possibly
know what would be causing it.. Basically, occasionally when coming to a
stop or decelerating, the engine just dies out. There is really no rhym or
reason, as to when this occurs. One thing that I have noticed is the red
warning light becomes enabled (not full strengh) when I depress the brakes
and this happens pretty regularly. I thought that this might be related to
the stalling out. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated...
