Ok guys, so I (with the help I a more knowledgeable friend) solved my spark issue and actually had my mustang running for the first time in over a year today! Long story short, the coil wasn't grounding properly which was causing me to lose spark. However, I now have a carb issue and would love to hear your thoughts. It is a Holley carb list number 6919 which I think (according to the Internet) is a "4160 600cfm" carb. (Don't really know what that means) I did a rebuild kit on this carb awhile ago and thought I did everything right but I must have screwed something up. Things run fine when you are giving it some gas but, when I try to turn the idle down to a normal rpm it dies everytime. And my friend showed me with a flashlight that fuel seems to be pouring into the secondaries. He told me that when you look in the carb while its running the gas should look like a fine mist or vapor going into the motor, the gas in mine looked more like big ass droplets spraying in. He thought that maybe something could be clogging up the needle and seats and that I should take it apart and look everything over. I had a few leftover parts in the rebuild kit when I was done, is that normal? Some of the parts included in my rebuild kit didn't even look like they belonged anywhere in my carb. So I obviously didn't put them in. I have never done a carb rebuild kit before, but I took my time and took a lot of pictures and I am fairly confident that I put it all back together correctly.
