Hey all I am new to this forum I heard people get great answers here from a group of intelligent mustang owners
Well I'm a new mustang owner I just bought this car and well I am not having a good experience so far .. I've owned a fox before but it has not been modified like this.
Okay to the mods are gt40 heads
Holley carb , edelbrock intake manifold, and stock t5
The problem I had when I first got it was that it was overheating and well one time when I was driving it it over heated and blew white smoke from the engine. To me 210 degrees is over heating.. Again not sure with this kind of set up . So yesterday I checked the coolant filled it up and no more over heating. But now the problem is could I have destroyed/ burned something in the motor?
Okay so I turn it over and it's running no over heating so I decide to go get gas bc I only have one tick mark to go.
I get to the gas station and I pumped 93 octane , again not sure if this makes a difference . So when I go to turn on the car it doesn't turn over. This was my first time getting gas. And well it made me feel as if I put the wrong gas. What could be the problem here.
I also tried to run a PVC on the motor bc it didn't have one when I got it and a buddy of mine said it was a lot healthier to run with one . I put it in the valve cover and connected it to the back of the carb. Is this correct ?
And I have one breather on the driver side valve cover.
When I crank the motor a puff of smoke comes out the breather hole. And it feels very hot but the gauge doesn't read like its overheating.
I really do want this car to work bc I at least wanted to go take it out on weekends. Can anyone shine some light on this. I would greatly appreciate it !
