I did, Had to repair the major vacuum leak in the Brake booster, and just fixed the Accelerator Pump last week. Seems like it's running alot better, but I need to get it adjusted a little better, seems like it want's to bog now and again.

I got this Mustang here with points in it, Seems like it runs well but I know I can get it better.The guy who had it before me was not very bright, and i got a bunch of vacuum lines that are just plugged off, When It gets warmer, I'm gonna get into it a little more in depth.

It's a 2 bbl motorcraft, used to have a 4 bbl on it, but over the years I guess gas mileage is better than horsepower.LOL

well I may have to make a trip up and check it out-will look around for my old dwell meter-I usually use that as a final point check-and you can play around with the timing and get a lot more out of them

I certainly appreciate it, Really want to get the old girl running at peak efficiency, I just haven't had the time to play around with it.

When Dad bought the truck, he took the 4 bbl motorcraft off and put on a Holley 750cfm, I don't know what happened to it, but he said it got 22 mpg then, but now 31 years later, I'm getting around 12-15, but I know I gotta tune her up as it's been years since it was done last.
