This isn't a Maverick question, but hopefully someone on here can help as I'm a little out of my element... I'm helping some church friends with a 66 Mustang they just purchased. It's a really nice little 6-cyl car but doesn't run very well. They are going to start a V8 conversion process this winter, but want to drive the car pretty much as is through the summer. The current problem is with the original Ford 1100 series 1-bbl carburetor. I'm pretty sure of this, because fuel leaks out of just about every orifice on the carb when the car is (sort of) running. Doing a little online research, I see the 1100 carb is notoriously bad. I have a local guy who will rebuild the 1100 for $100 parts+labor. The other option is switching to a more reliable carb, which will probably run anywhere from $200-$450 depending on several factors. Question: Assuming the 1100 is correctly rebuilt, do you think my friends can expect to get reasonable driveability for the next 6-8 months from it? Or should they just bite the bullet and get a better carb? Thanks...
rebuild it yourself for the price of a kit and carb cleaner. Cost me 20 dollars to rebuild mine, i also haue fun while i do it
If the rebuilder knows his stuff...A 100 beans is a screamin' deal and it should go the 6 to 8 months no problem. Once the carb is sorted out, you may find other problems that need to be addressed. Good luck!!!
Thats a good deal if he knows his stuff. Those carbs are really bad for warpage. They leak everywhere. Good luck Darren. Oops I see Pete beat me to the old school info.LOL.

I have been every where and i cant find a shop manual for my 74 maverick 200 i6. this sucks, i know i have to by one, but i was hoping that someone maybe would post something on these engine. **** i did my part by posting a manual for the carter carb for these cars that i found. sorry anyways does anyone know where i can find info on these engines, manual a break down of these engines and so on? Last week i adjusted this thing and im going to call it a thing cause i have no idea what it is and can find no info on this engine. anyways this thing is on the right side of the engine or drivers side and is in the block, it has a wire that screws on to it. for some reason it was loose and when i tightened it, it made good contact with this thing. anyways after doing so i notice that the car got better throttle response. does anyone know what it is. i also notice that it is leaking oil from there. i am going to have to take a picture of it and post it. its where the fuel pump is and is back by the fire wall. any ideas i know im going to have to take a picture of it so you all can see it but any help would help. also what other cars have the same engine??? is it a mustang II ???
^^^And the reason you keep jacking other people's thread and dredging up old ones with the same post is because???
