my new Mav is pretty fast!

i bought it yesterday. guy towed it home for me. it had a little bit of a miss as you came off idle. i pulled the plugs. they were all black. not oily, they were just covered in soot i guess. like the inside of your tail pipe.

so i changed the plugs.

i hadnt had the chance to open it up on the highway but it does peel out extreamly well pulling away from a light

my other 250/c4 maverick... not so much...

it still doesnt feel "right" though. think the timing needs to be adjusted. the carb is brand new so hopefully its OK

That's a good looking Mav.
Looks like you have the stuff to do on the house while you have car stuff to do.
I used to have a rule, not more than one night in Newark, PM if curious. That bank got bought out (hint hint)

its the small bumper swap it adds 50 RWHP

no, those are stock small bumpers. its a '72

the black 76 got the swap.

thats not even my house. my girlfriend lets me keep all the crap i want there. thats her dad ripping the house apart

matter of fact i just got home from cruising. if you go out at night on a weekday theres no traffic around here. that thing definatly hauls @$$

the miss starts to get a little noticable into 3rd so i backed off it.

I like the blue on silver. You have the same meduum blue as my 72 Grabber.

how many mavericks do u have?looks to be in good shape!!looks like you almost have your own maverick club there.

it's running rich. dial the timing and carb in and it'll be faster 8)

the black one is a '76 2dr with a small bumper swap to look like a '70-72

and the white blue/car is my daily driver. 1976 mercury Comet 4dr LDO 250/c4.

i beat the crap out of that car and she's still kicking

Try setting the timing with a vacuum gauge until you reach the highest vacuum reading. If you use a timing light, try 12 deg. That should help it out nicely. If it pings after that, just retard the timing until the pinging stops.
