The more I drive mine the worse I seem to be able to feather the gas and make fairly smooth takeoffs...its either launching/lurching or nothing most of the time....going to try lubing the TB shafts and throttle linkage to see if that helps.
Did you get this fixed? Once I got the entire list followed, jrichker's idle setting procedure really settled my idle and part throttle down. It does not feel like it is going to buck you off at the rodeo. I have a bigger BBK MAF and TB.
So tonight I'm at the local watering hole and my neighbor whom I notice has his motor out of his 68' pro street stang about once a week doing something to it, happens to roll in... never got to see it up close but this things no joke. On observation I notice he's running an 8-71 with custom direct injection and a pill box. Of course he has the full tube chassis and narrowed rear with brand new Goodyear drag slicks. the block is a ford racing 460 thats 60 0ver with a stroker crank and somewhere near 60o inches... anyhow, just brought back old memories of some of my old rides and wondered what happened to having that sort of passion or obsession for the extreme.
Mine was a daily driver from 89-99, mostly for my wife, sold it in 2005 and bought it back last year. It's earned it's rest. Although compared to my current DD ( Lifted v-10 SuperDuty) it's practically a Prius.
Mine is also an older BBK unit. A 70 just like yours, Illuminator. Think we may have found the problem? Lol. I need to go see if mine is sticking or has a smooth action like it should.
just curious, how do you know its 46k miles and not 146 or 246k?Bought mine August 12 with 46K miles bone stock. Still a DD with mild mods - Explorer top end. 70mm tb, CAI, headers, H pipe, Flowmasters, Taurus Efan and FAL VSC, U/D pulleys, B&M shifter, and some exterior and interior mods. Getting about 17-18mpg in the city. The more I drive it, the more I am thinking of getting a Toyota or other DD and having this as a weekend toy. There is too much I want to do to it and not enough time on the weekends. A real PITA when you want to do some major work and need the car to get to work.
