I will soon be purchasing a 1985 fox body mustang with a nicely built carburated 347 stoker. I was wondering if I could get some advice on the pros and cons of running it on the road without an air filter? Being a nicely built 347, it has a 4 barrel holley carburator (I do not know the jet specs...

Ok so I've gone to a 67 engine, mech fuel pump and all. In the tank, I took out the pump, and simply put a cut piece of metal fuel line down just off the bottom of the tank. Installed a check valve just after the tank, filter sits on the side of the engine bay before the pump, and the carburetor...

Hi everyone. This question goes out to all the carb'd guys who use an Edelbrock 1406 600CFM in their Mustang. I am thinking the fella I bought my car off left the settings as is from the factory, and didn't bother to adjust metering rods etc. I live at sea level and the engine has a mild cam/...

I rebuilt my autolite 2100 2 barrel carburetor and it doesn't run right. I set the float per the instructions and the needle and seat were set in and function properly. The accelerator pump works and the carburetor is tightened down properly. I am stumped. The symptoms are this: engine idles...

I have a 1966 Mustang Coupe with a 289. I havent driven it for over a month because of the heat and having no a/c. The short of the story is that I went on a night run and after about 10-12miles my car started sputtering. I would gas it and it would sputter, sputter, then go. Shortly after...

I've recently been working on a new-to-me 67 coupe with a 289 which has a Holley 65-4412 carburetor. It is absolutely drinking gasoline and doesn't seem to have much power and i have been thinking that the carb may be set improperly. As i don't have any real experience with tuning carburetors...

It's a great car. One of my dream cars, to be honest. I'm blessed to have aquired it so young. It runs and drives great. A lot smoother than I thought it'd be. The only issue I'm having is when it's idle. It's a little rough. It keeps up at stoplights and all, but slowly going over a speed bump...

I have a 1968 mustang coupe with an inline 6. I have a crazy acceleration issue. Every time I start from a dead stop and only a dead stop on an incline the throttle goes down by itself until it reaches 2nd gear.
