dad and I were thinking about replacing the carb on the 71 Mach 1. The car has been running ok, but not to expectations. It seems to have good days and bad days. When I parked it in the garage last, it was chugging some black smoke and soot out the pipes. Other days, it ran clean and clear. Previous owner also indicated that he had some trouble with the old carb, so we are going to put a new one on her!
So what do you guys recommend? She has a 302 built to 306 with an mild/unknown cam, hydraulic lifters and 289 heads. Looks like a standard Edelbrock intake and long tube headers. This car is a weekend cruiser, no need for track tuning. We just want some good power and smooth running!
We already have a few choice selections in mind, but I want to hear some thoughts from the 71-73 community!
