Thank you and yes you did. I have abandoned the carb for a short time. I injured myself and cant get to the garage (a terrible fate). But have been thinking about it. I have some more questions if you don't mind. Shouldn't a vent be left open? And what is the regulator looking thing by the...

Thanks for the info. No it is a 79 bobcat staion wagon 2.3 L 4 speed motor. Stock. I am removing anything I don't need to make it run. I have a 2100 I could put on it but I think I like the idea of the progressive 2 barrel. I want some gas mileage. Is going in a 63 Falcon. I have a turbo car I...

I got some pictures. I only did the carb with the electric choke. The first picture that will come up is of the pump. Just hit next to go to the carb pictures. There are two. It took me a while to do the arrows and text. Now I feel like a bigger idiot. I don't know where this stuff on the car...

I have a MOTOR manual from 77 and it has an exploded view of the carb in it. It doesnt say what connects where thought. And I couldn't find anything about the fuel pump extra fitting. Do you think the other manuals will have better discriptions? I can check next week when I get back to work. I...

Did you check the input shaft sizes before installing the 4cyl transmission. I have read in multiple places that the shafts are different sizes. And yes the small input shaft would go easily into the big bearing hole. But it may cause problems. Just a thought.

I am putting together a 79 2.3 with the 5200 carb and I have no idea what all the connections are for. Is there anyplace I can get that information? I also have an earlier 5200 that doesn't have as many connections. There seem to be two gas inlets a few vacuum lines and some electrical...

This may not be the correct place to ask these questions but I figure that a mustang guy/gal is most likely to try the things I have questions about. I just purchased a 1988 T-Turbo coupe to use for parts in a swap (old Falcon). I am putting a 2.3 in (carbed) until I get the coupe apart. First...

Anyone know what I can get a bellhousing from to put a T5 behind a 2.3L? Would a 3.8 RWD car have the same bellhousing? There are a lot of thunderbirds for sale fairly cheap with the sixes and 5 speeds. I just need a bellhousing that will bolt the two together. One other question. Does anyone...

update Thank you Thank you Thank you I got the tabs bent up. not sure what the dome nut is but will try to find it. Its been a long time but I could have swore that the transmission in my brother inlaws MII was the same as the one in my 76 Capri. Thanks for setting me straight. Now to...

Any one know how to get the shifter off an german ford 4 speed? I have one out of a pinto/capri/MII and cannot find out how to get the shifter out of the tranmission. The manual shows how to do it on the english version but not the one I have. I have two of them one out of a pinto and the other...

In another note I wrote "I purchased an 87 Mustang that was in the middle of a 4 cylinder to 302 swap. I am installing the motor in a 63 Falcon. I need some help with parts that I think might be obsolete. I think that because I found one site the mentioned the part # I typed in was...

I purchased an 87 Mustang that was in the middle of a 4 cylinder to 302 swap. I am installing the motor in a 63 Falcon. I need some help with parts that I think might be obsolete. I think that because I found one site the mentione the part # I typed in was discontinued in 2003. What I am looking...

I have a rearend out of a granada. It was a 79 I6. It had leaf springs and is the correct width for an earlier car. The back cover is 11" x 12" with 10 bolts. It doesn't look like a 7.5" or the crown vic 8.8" rear I have. I measured the ring gear (eyeballed while installed and its definitely...

Thank you all, Im going shopping. Neil

The 1/2 inch coarse thead is to big. Are you talking about the size wrench I would need for the bolts or the size of the bolts themselves. I am not sure if this bellhousing has been retapped or not and do not have any bolts that came with it. The 3/8 and 1/2 inch bolts I was talking about are...

Can anyone help me with the size of the bolts that hold the transmission to the bellhousing. I am guessing they are metric seeing a 3/8 is to small and the 1/2 is to big. I am old (whats this metric stuff) and will probably have to order them to get non coated ones. TIA, Neil Also does...

The car is a TBI. There is no vacuum advance. I did not notice any mechanical advance in the distributer either. The distributer is keyed and will not move. The crank pickup looks like it is stationary in the front cover. But I couldn't see it very good (air pump in way). The timing ring looks...

Timing The rotor change did not change the timing. It is at 20 degrees. Moved it both ways and rechecked no change. Then disconnected the battery and adjusted again. No change. The book says it onlt needs adjusting to make sure the spark is in the correct position in the cap. I can't find...

I have what I thought was the Duraspark III but during the search I read someones note with a part number the same as mine that was called the Duraspark II. Anyway it is a 5.0 with the crank trigger. There is a fixed (not adjustable) distributer with just the rotor inside. I thought from the...

Thanks but its not The car is an older one (87) from a private party. The asking price is only $6800 but I am not sure about the overnight ownership deal. Them transfering title, or if there is a leen, or what ever. Its an EBay thing so if they took me they would get a bad mark on there...
