Hi, I just got my first car, its a 74 maverick. I only payed $1000 for it. It has the 250 i6. The body is in pretty good shape, its white with gold pinstripes. It has a little rust on the doors and quarter panels but i'll fix that. The green interior is in Perfect condition except for a small tear in the front seat. The black vynal roof is also in PERFECT condition with not a tear or crack on it. The best part of it is that it only has 49,000 miles. The car was owned by a old couple who bought it new. They got it serviced every year at the gas station near their house. Recently the husband pasted away and the wife, in her 80's, had to sell the car. I've been looking for parts to make it faster and handle better but i can't find anything for the 250 , can anyone tell me where I can find performance parts for it.
Welcome aboard. I know clifford makes perfomance stuff for 6's and there are several forums out there for them that might help. The guys on this forum are about the smartest, nicest but of guys around though so gie them a chance. I would think you could put a Offenhouser intake and a small 4 barrel carb to help out. Maybe a header and small torquey cam along with it. You can also swap out the distributor guts and get rid of the points for solid state but the name of the set-up escapes me. Someone will name it I'm sure. Clint
