I have a 65 stang with a 200 inline in it. The car idles alright when sitting in park or neutral, but when put in gear it can barely stay running. I can hear a slight miss in the engine in park, but I swear it's going to throw something when put in gear.
Here is the laundry list of items I have changed out so far. I'm looking for some help in diagnosing this issue.
Head was rebuilt about 2 years ago.
New rocker assemby from fordsix
rebuilt carb, original style, installed about 4 years ago.
New plugs/wires
About 10 years ago, my dad had the old 3 speed manual swapped out with a C4. The car has never idled well, before the conversion or after.
My thought is the ignition or carberation is to blame. Since I replaced the carburator, I hate to go back there, but you know how poor rebuilds can be. I was thinking my next step would be replacing the points with a pertronix, but after reading the forum, I think I may try to do the DSII conversion.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
