    Now you are making sense about your carb swaps. Also consider me schooled on 'valve free drop'. Although, I don't believe it would typically be an issue with a street engine (low compression). And unless I'm way off the pushrod is directly related to piston to valve clearance. Raising your...

    looking for advice on a carb

    Yes agreed- all in the name of finding out piston to valve clearance with that cam, heads, block etc. 1.6 is still a conservative ratio taking all that into consideration. Also, what the hell is "free drop"? Sounds like some made up BS.

    looking for advice on a carb

    So how was it that changing the idle mix gained the 3 tenths? I guess everything else on the car was exactly the same as the previous pass you made. You guys had three "garbage" carbs sitting around and all three freakishly had a stumble? Sounds like you guys kept putting too small of a carb on...

    What pistons, rods and stroke are you running with this cam? Unless you have a massive dome piston- 1.6 would be safe given that you're also using stock length push rods.

    ^That carb is like a more expensive QFT. For the the price of that AED, you can get a (Jeg's 793-SS-680-VSK) 650-680 cfm QF with a braided feed line, filter, and pressure gauge. Your 351w probably only needed larger squirters not another carb. I don't see how you could've gained 3 tenths by...

    I Need Help!!! Does This Mustang Look Like A Factory Color From 2001

    My brother's '04 Mach 1 was pretty much the same color and he bought it new. I'd say scoop it up and have fun banging gears!

    A little fuel gauge help

    I understand what you're talking about with the truck. I had an '83 that I fixed up way back when too. Wish I still had it. What I don't get is: why are you trying to use the printed circuit? You should be able to direct wire the fuel gauge to both tanks incorporating the tank switch on the...

    looking for advice on a carb

    Again I'd say it's more about how you're going to drive the car. My buddy's Falcon although fully licensed, working lights, full interior, etc.- it's more a race car. 8 point cage, 4000 stall, 4:10 spool, M/T slicks. His Race Q doesn't have a vacuum port or a choke horn so daily driving isn't...

    +1 on the Quick Fuel. My buddies Falcon runs a Race Q on his 347. Those guys dropped what they were doing to help us in Bowling Green last year. Great carb and good people.

    +1 What are you building the engine for? Street? Drag? Autocross? Check what carb Nascar used up to the fuel injection coming in. Holley. Not Carters. Not Q-junk. How you plan to use the car is the deciding factor of which carb to buy.

    how to adjust high idle Holley (electric choke)

    Check out Holley's website. They have more info that you could possibly need. Did the car just start doing the high idle thing or has it always been that way since you've had it? You might want to re-check the timing first before messing with the choke system as the choke rarely goes out of...

    Odd Fuel Leak Holley 600 cfm

    What kind of pump are you running? Double check your fuel pressure- it could be overrunning your floats. Not all 600s are the same either. The main body to base plate gasket might be the wrong one. There are no check valves in a Holley carb that I know of. Also make sure that the power valve is...
