Thanks. I have been able to make the adju assignment at the carb and it is downshifting. Cheers.

Thank you. So, there should be a .05 to .07 Gap between the adjustment screw and the kickdown lever at wot? Thanks for my on the job training. Much appreciated.

Hi. I have been looking at prior threads but haven't found exactly what I need. I am hoping someone can give me step by step instructions/guidance on adjusting the kickdown on my 1972 Mustang with a 302 and an fmx transmission. Carb is also stock. Many thanks!

Hello. Does anyone have a venturi cluster for a Motorcraft 2100 they might want to sell? I just opened my poor performing remanufactured Motorcraft 2100 and saw that one of the brass emulsion tubes on the venturi cluster is split. I have read that this might be contributing to carburetor...

So, I pasted the above message and that clearly didn't work very well. What I am asking is what type of u-clip or other style of clip will work with the urethane dash pads? The standard u-clips that work with the OEM/Ford tooling dash pads don't really work with the urethane dash pads. The...

Many thanks. I have limited experience but am a quick study and have many but not all diagnostic tools. I appreciate your help! What details would be most helpful for you to assess the problem. Should we do this offline...email, etc. Quick info:. Car is totally stock. A 1972 302. A/T...

Hello. I wonder if anyone can recommend a good mechanic in the Charlotte area that can help me trouble-shoot a rough idle on my 1972 302 while in gear. Car has been tuned, new plugs, wires, electronic ignition, etc. Could be a vacuum issue ...the only vacuum line in use is ported vacuum off...
