- 1973 Coupe- oddball mystery hand me down thats full of surprises
Alright, so I'm finishing up the back end of my mustang, got all the rear wiring done, dome light works, everything works except for the cig lighter and the 2nd click on the windshield wipers.
I'm 17, and know only about body work.
What is the best thing to do if I'm replacing the carb?
as of right now i have the motorcraft2v, and im missing a lot of vacuum lines, and my emmisions thing was deleted too (1973 car)
Does any of yall also have the original, but completed? I'm looking to replace mine but also convert it to a 4v around the same size, i just do not know what cfm the original is.
If i replace mine with a 4v carb do i have to change the intake as well?
and where would i find the vacuum diagram for the car as well?
My lines are colorless as they have faded, the engine bay on this car was neglected, as with the rear of the car as well.
and the middle.
the car does not run right, and i have no idea how to tune it, check/adjust timing either.
it starts cold idling low, then idles higher onces it warms up, but theres a phase inbetween where it cant run itself and will die, where you have to turn it over.
Ive replaced the trunk floor, gas tank, filler neck, sending unit (i put a new filter on) replaced the rubber on the gas lines, cleaned out the metal parts, with a new filter going to the carb as well. so i know its not a fueling issue.
i have yet to check the distributor, spark plugs, & spark plug wires.
