I've been driving it a little more and still noticing things that require attention as we work to get all it sorted out. Car still needs quite a bit but the fact that it is running very well with the original Motorcraft 4300d carb is just cool as Hell to me!! THANKS CHUCK (C9ZX) I think he should be known as the carb 'whisperer'. CARB MASTER or something like that - LOL
Richard (leftmech) has also helped a lot with may things but he has been instrumental with the choke assy and trying to make it work. It (choke) seems to have a mind of its own!
It starts up great - especially after it is warmed up where it starts by just bumping the ignition! I like that!!!! And when you turn off the ignition, it dies just as smooth!!! When it fires up I smile each time I hear that familiar 351 Cleveland rumble from the exhaust!! Brings back 40+ years of memories with me and the car!
My plan is to use the wintertime to replace most of the suspension pieces. I'm going to try and stay original for the most part. Probably no urethane bushings or crazy suspension changes.
Hey for those that have been following this thread - remember how nasty the cooling system was after sitting for almost 30 years??? Well I used a product made by the EVAPORUST company but for cleaning out the engine cooling system. It is called ThermoCure and this stuff did an excellent job!!!

I was very impressed. Just follow the directions! Anyway we have flushed it and now have some good ole Prestone anti-freeze in it. Ready for the winter.
I am very fortunate to have excellent friends who happen to also own and appreciate Mustangs & performance Ford products!!! I can't wait to help them more with their own cars and projects!!!!!
