i have a 68 mustang coupe with a 200 stock internals, patriot headers 2.25 pipes all the way with an h and mufflershop turbo's.carb is a carter mfg.for motorcraft one barrel. i made an adapter to turn the carb so the throttle tips in to the intake instead of across it. after the engine warms up it starts to miss and load up.if i back the mixture screw out about three turns the idle goes up to about 11or 12 hundred rpm.way too fast.but the engine smoothes out.with the mixture screw set at one and a half to two turns out idle is about 8 to 900 rpm. but rough and very rich. timing is 14 degrees static with the advance backed out to bring it all in sooner. carb is a new rebuilt from national carburetors their catalog says it is for a 200 or 250.i can't afford to buy another carb right now. how can i make this one work better? thanks for any and all hints and help.
