Clean all the related parts.

Just wanted to let every one know that I installed the carb on my Mustang about two weeks ago. It fired right up on fast idle. Once warm I adjusted the idle screws to get a smooth idle and drove it. No problems. Easy. I want to thank Daytona Parts Company for the carb kit and more importantly Tim at Daytona Parts for all the tech help he provided to me before and during the rebuild process. I also want to mention that I used a new float in this rebuild from Mike's Carburetor Parts. Never had to call them, but the float fit right and seems to be working. Hopefully it will end the problem I had with the old float taking on gas and screwing up the float level. I have no interest in these business just hope that some one, some day finds this thread helpful.

Found the tag that was on the wiring. All Ford! Will clean it up and put it back on the harness.

I'm sorry for the issues that you're having to go through. I love the verse Rich sent to you, along with his generosity, that is a wonderful blessing to share.

I did more cleaning and sanding before giving the inner passenger side engine compartment a fresh coat of paint. While I was on that side I cleaned and polished the original chrome valve cover as best as I could get it. It will do for now. I also replace the battery cables with the correct cables from AMK. The positive battery clamp appears to be the wrong one because it's to small to fit the post.

You can also elongate the bolts holes on the bottom of the doors outward to give you more adjustment.

Here is a picture of the engine compartment with the late model master cylinder. I used the small diameter dual diaphragm power brake booster. There are a lot of posts on this forum on this topic.
