Hey guys I'm new to this site. I've been having some trouble with my mustang and I've been trying to figure it out for the last couple weeks and havnt had any luck, so I thought it was about time to find some people who knew a thing or two about these cars.
Its a 87 gt convertible mustang that I got about 2 months ago. When I got it, it ran great and was a good car. When i got it it had the stock 302 in it. Well a couple weeks ago the oil pump went bad on the car and I thought it would be a good idea to switch the motor out for one with a little more power. I had a 82 gt mustang with a fuel injected 302 bored over to a 306 with some torquey heads and a mild mild cam.
So I took the upper and lower intake off the stock 302 and put it on the 306 and dropped it in the car and wired everything up and got it running. I put some headers on it and for now I'm runnin about 3 foot of 3in pipe off each header.
I got the timing decent and I've got new spark plugs, wires, cap, rotor, and gaskets everywhere. But the car is running pretty rich and I cant figure out why. I've played with the timing alot and still cant get it to run right. It has a rough idle and when I'm trying to maintain speed it misses out pretty bad.
When I hammer it it runs pretty good, but thats the only time I can get it to run right.
Any help would be really awesome guys.
By the way my name is Jayden and I'm from wichita ks
