Have my bare stock 200 six in my 74 Maverick and I have a question about something I am experiencing with the engine. I somewhat have had this problem ever since having the car and that problem is that after riding for a while, when I come up to a red light the engine spurts and shakes. Then when I am ready to go, when I hit on the gas the engine struggles for around 3 seconds before it goes off normally. This happens all the time and I noticed after getting a temp gauge installed, that it only ever happens when the engine is hotter than normal.
Now a firend of mines who used to own a few 200 Mavericks and 250 other cars, told me today that he thinks that it may be the thermostat preventing the engine from breathing at a normal rate and that there is more hot air in it than there should be.
Wanted to know if there may be other ideas as to what the problem with my car is.
