Almost everybody I've asked has said that's the carb and it needs a rebuild. How do I go about doing this? (I know the rebuild kits are cheap) This is my high school project, and I my dad doesnt know anything about cars. I want to get my mustang back on the road and will be posting in here a lot more. Thanks.
Just a thought...I have an inline 6 which used to run poorly. Bought a carb rebuild kit from autozone and installed it after cleaning. Still ran poorly secondary to fuel filter collecting rust/junk from an old gas tank. I replaced the gas tank, cleaned out the fuel lines, and replaced the fuel filter. Runs fine now. Do a search for the correct tuning of the idle screws and you should be golden...good luck!!! stay in touch..
