Have a 65 stang with a 289, stock 2 barrel, full exhaust and an electric fan, c4 auto and otherwise pretty basic.
I run 87 octane, have timing set to about 8* advance, the air/fuel adjustment screws on the carb are both about 1.5 turns out (rich) and the car idling at about 1,000rpm.
Still adjusting the electric choke to operate appropriately in the morning but otherwise, I am trying to figure out if I have everything dialed in correctly here. The car doesn't feel all that fast but sadly that's my own fault because of the other vehicles I am used to driving and not really familiar enough with carb'd vehicles.
Anyone have any thoughts on this or perhaps some recommendations on some things to do?
