Take a look at the search feature and you should find quite a bit on the subject.

Rare? Let's hope so.

In my experience with my own Mustang, anything that is fixed will always uncover between 2 and 5 other repairs that need to be done, and nothing, NOTHING is ever as simple as it seems. Perhaps I'm just becoming cynical?

It's almost as if my Mustang doesn't want to be restored at times

At any rate, if you have the money and tools to do so, by all means upgrade that carb! That 'choked' sensation I feel when I step on the pedal of the '66 compared to the '90GT..............I never want a 4V more that at that moment!

I just switched from a 600 CFM Edelbrock to a 480 CFM Autolite 4100 on my '65 with a 302. My experience is almost identical to Veronica's, and the engine actually seems to develop more power, faster. Haven't had it on long enough to tell if it's any more fuel-efficient, though.
