68 302 4 barrel after market carb
My Dad had a heart attack and I am now trying to help get his Mustang in order. Some time ago he had someone, he can't remember, change his carb. When I got it, it Idled super hi in park/neutral, and hi in drive, clunking bad when shifted. His tranny leaks bad, seems to be tore up. The car on the road is a beast, I connected the vacuum lines, tuned down the carb as much as possible, but I can't control the idle to a reasonable idle. I have a feeling the carb is to big for the car, help. I use to work on carbuatored cars in HS, so Its be awhile.

Looks like it's this carburetor, which should be fine if properly tuned.

I read some where that 1.8 per litre only applies to modified engines. My brother did say that he remembers Dad telling him you can't time it to factory for some reason. He had a stoke as well a Quad by-pass. There really isn't alot of vacuum lines, I did check them, found no leaks, but the timing? I see the 80570 part # on the front. The tranny does not have OD. Is the Trans Linkage hardware required?
