    Carb is a Carter RBS used on 1970 and newer 250 6-cylinder engines. Not a bad carb but can have a somewhat weak accelerator pump system. This is not a load-o-matic design carb. Is the engine a 200 or 250?

    1966 289 Electronic Ignition

    It might be worth having a look at a melonized-steel gear. Those can be used on either a cast or steel camshaft.

    1966 289 Electronic Ignition

    What distributor are we talking about? The cast iron gear was standard on the original distributors and was used with the stock flat tappet cast iron cams. The steel gears are used on Roller cams.

    1966 289 Electronic Ignition

    I simply bought the Pertronix conversion kit and installed it into the original distributor. It's been working fine now for the past 25 years.

    1965 Mustang Restomod Coupe

    Looking at the roof, was that originally a vinyl top car, or one that lived close to a papermill?

    1972 Mustang Upper Control Arm

    The upper control arm, upper ball joint, and spring perch are all a good idea. If the front coil springs are weak or sagging, then yes to those. Remember, the springs are replaced in pairs.

    Fox Brake Pedal

    The new caliper is in, but the car still has a low brake pedal. I did notice that while bleeding the caliper, the master cylinder was making all kinds of internal gurgling sounds I've never heard before, so plans are to replace it this coming week.

    Fox Brake Pedal

    Well, I went through and pinched off the brake lines, but did not really notice any difference. But, when I went back and looked, the left front wheel is now locked up, so it looks like there is something going on with the caliper. More to come on this one. Edit: After getting it apart, I'm...

    Fox Brake Pedal

    It's worth a look. I went out and jacked it up, put it on stands, and pulled the wheels, but right now it's too cold to keep going for now.

    Wanting to replace my BOSS 351C Engine Harmonic Balancer - Questions about 'Balance?'

    Why don't you just ship the proper balancer out to Damper Doctor in CA to get it rebuilt? I've had them do 3 balancers for me now and they come back like new.

    Fox Brake Pedal

    Last flush would be when I replaced everything in the rear brakes minus the lines, which was about 10 years ago. I ordered a new Raybestos MC from Rock Auto, which should be here Friday afternoon. If I get a chance to install it Saturday, I will bleed out all the old fluid front and rear.

    Early 1984 Mustang GT with power brake booster. Put car into storage 2 years ago, brakes were fine. Just took it out and the brake pedal is really low. Both fluid reservoirs are full, and the brake booster is working okay. all the wheels appear to turn and stop properly. I'm thinking the master...

    Autolite 1100 idles well, bogs when accelerating 1966 200

    Checking for vacuum leaks and float level is a good idea, as noted above. It still sounds like it could be an accelerator pump issue. Was it properly adjusted?
