Default Engine dies in decelleration?

My nephew has a vintage 1965 Mustang fastback with a 302. The car runs fine EXCEPT when he's decelerating (e.g approaching a stop sign at normal speed) and then the rpms drop much faster than normal and the engine wants to die.

Any ideas what to look for?

Checked the normal stuff: timing, dwell, looked for vacuum leaks.

Any suggestions?
