havnt played with my mustang in a lot of years and got it running again last week. Carb needs a rebuild to run correctly, but why rebuild when you can upgrade right lol. It sbeen a while since Ive paid attention to these engines and have fallen behind with what we are seeing work as the best carb upgrade anymore. Ten years ago it was a 2bbl holly 350 cfm, now Im reading about weber 1 barrels and autolite 1101's, so I guess Im looking for opinions on what I should pick up. The combo is a stock 200 in a 68 mustang. I dont exactly know what carb and distributor is in there now (couldve been rebuilt/swapped) before me. I'll attach a few pics that hopefully someone can say, "hey bone head, thats a XXX and a XXX."
So I want to get this thing running a little better/faster/funner so I can enjoy it a bit more. I'll daily it in the good weather on my five block commute to work, not racing around with this car, just a sunday drive out to a burger joint with the family type of thing.
In reading up on the options, Im seeing that the carbs and distributors work with each other, a 68 should have a duraspark in it already (maybe?)... anyway, I've got a MSD6a box and coil sitting in my garage to use, so I figure toss that in, with whatever carb and distributor combo y'all advise me of, then grab a header and that should do it for the power train upgrades.
So with all that in mind, and with what you're seeing in the pictures, can someone please lay out a carb and distributor (if a new distributor is needed) option that will work together and where to pick them up from (parts stores, online)? Thanks!
