I'll go check the suspension right now. The rubber boots on the upper ball joints is almost gone. Could that be causing the noise? Jonathan
Hi all, I've had a problem arise lately. Whenever I begin to accelerate from a stop there is a terrible creaking noise coming from the front...
How would I check for that? I'm having the exhaust system from the behind the manifolds back replaced in 2 weeks, but I wasn't planning on...
Hi everybody. I've got a 73 4dr with the 302 V8. There is a popping noise coming from the engine bay that I cannot identify. I retuned the carb...
Well, I replaced the accelerator pump diaphragm today and it fixed most of the problems. There is still a small stumble at idle, but I think that...
I found the problem. The accelerator pump diaphragm was blown. Gasoline was leaking out. I replaced the diaphragm and sprayed the inside of the...
I know this is a dumb question, but how do I lower the floats? This is my first car that doesn't have Fuel Injection. Jonathan
Thanks, I'll try that tomorrow morning. I was wondering if it might be a stuck needle in the carb. I forgot to add that the carb is leaking...
My 302V8 will not stay running. I'll start it and it will stay running as long as I hold the accelerator in. As soon as I let off the...
Well, after adjusting the fuel mixture the car was running better. There was still some popping that I believe can be attributed to the timing....

I have a 1973 4dr with the 302 V8. The exhaust system is pretty smashed up from the exhaust manifolds back. I am planning to replace the exhaust...
I think you're right about the timing problem. I increased the fuel mixture and it seems to be running a little better. I'll get a timing light...
I just found it. It's the Autolite(Motorcraft)2100D carb. Thanks, Jonathan
It's the carb that came stock on the 1973 302 V8. It's a 2bbl.
The choke plate is all the way open. I tried adjusting the idle and the problem continued. How to I adjust the fuel mixture? I can't find the...
I relubed the points in the distributor and that partially eliminated the popping noise. The idle in drive and revers is still there. idle in...
Hi all, I have a 73 4dr with the 302 V8. My father-in-law brought this car down from Colorado for me last week. The car has been burning through...
I don't have any pictures on the internet yet. I don't have a scanner yet. I just got the car on Friday. Sadly, it has a little rust from being...
I've owned many cars since I turned 15 so working on cars is not new to me. I've always dreamed about owning a muscle car, and to me, that's what...
