First id like to introduce myself, my name is Stewart, i live in OKC, and i drive a 67 mustang, 200i, 3 speed coupe that my grandfather bought new and has put 265,000 miles on it in the last 43 years. The car is completely stock, rust and all!
Which brings me to my first question/problem, When I'm driving in 2nd or 3rd and take my foot off the gas but leave the clutch engaged there are these kinda pop sounds almost like backfiring but defiantly not loud enough. This only happens when the clutch is engaged and if i disengage the clutch the sound seems to stop. The car did not do this when i first got it. Since then Ive removed/cleaned and reinstalled the following. Valve cover, oil pan, T housing, Radiator, fan and spacer as well as the fan pulley, distributor cap, battery and voltage regulator, changed oil and filter and flushed the coolant system. I haven't touched the carb but i did use a timing light in an attempt to rectify this deceleration problem. Turned the dis to 6* below tdc which i believe is stock ignition timing
Please any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.
