Howdy,
My dad and I got his 71 mach 1 firing again over Christmas break, but for some reason any time we shift from park to reverse or drive it automatically dies. At this point we think something's up with the Carb and it just needs to be replaced after 47 years. What's the best carb to replace a 2-barrel Autolite 2100, H-Code with? I've been reading a lot about what people are saying worked for them and Holley seems to be the way to go, whether it be a street demon or quick fuel or what; can I replace it with a 4-bbl carb with limited added modification? What have y'all done or heard that works best?
Thank you!
Also y'all will love this, the previous issues we were having where it would smell like gas and never run right before the oil pump jammed were due to the fact that the mechanics who worked on the electronics of it to get it going not only completely mistimed it but switched the 3 and 7 on the distributor so it was firing out of order this whole time.
