Classic/Antique Car Repair: Carburetor/RPM setting, auto parts stores, ford mustang


Question
Thanks for answering my last question. 1966 Ford Mustang 6cyl, 200, 1bl. How do I adjust the carburetor fuel/air mixer and what tool is around to check the engine RPM (no Gauge insatlled). The engine is now running after rebuilding the carburetor.

Answer
Most auto parts stores sell tachometers that when connected to the ignition coil will measure RPM. Latch on to a Motor's Auto Repair Manual and it will have all of the specifications for your car. They are all over E Bay in the $10.00 plus postage range. Get a 1967 dated book, because the 1966 will only have advance limited information. You will also then have a complete manual for your car that will also contain repair procedures.
