    re-torque heads

    You may have some difficulty accessing some of the head bolts due to the rockers. Check the intake torque, but unless you have issues with head gaskets, you should be fine.

    Octane

    First thing would be to hook up a timing light and verify the timing. From your description you seem to think it is set at factory, so I assume you are not sure where it is actually set. It's not difficult to check. From there you can begin to see how it acts with different types of gas (it...

    Anyone familiar with this car?

    Pretty nice car....probably will sell for somewhere in low 20's unless it has reserve north of $30K. Auctions these days are buyer's dream for anything but the rare ones.

    Exhaust for 73 Mustang 302

    If you want to retain true factory appearance Precision is the way to go. Gonna be more expensive than basic shop system. If you want a basic dual exhaust, might be worth stopping in local exhaust system shop (used by other vintage car folks) and discuss it with them. They can probably...

    Sooty day’s...

    Hi Ken: looks like you dove right into the carb issue. Old school carb tuning technique I've used since the 60's as an initial setup. Once you have things re-assembled, initial tuning at warm idle would be to hook up your engine analyzer to monitor rpm and dwell and hook up vacuum gauge. 1...

    COmbination Valve tool

    I've never had great luck with using hand vacuum pump to bleed brakes. It did okay with getting the flow started, but never really pulled a lot of the air out of the lines. I used it to get the process started on all four wheels and then used a helper to hit the brake pedal for strong flow...

    Still under warranty?

    My thought was they would be immediately performing an extended road test to find any issues !!

    Still under warranty?
