How do you replace the carberator in a 67 Mustang?

But first please tell me your epxeriences with the 67-current Mustang - you'll be severely punished if you don't - straight answer belong in HT - NOT - HT Cafe!

I'm afraid you must have taken a wrong turn somewhere. You must be looking for the autogeeks board: next building over, third floor, second door on the left.

Easy! Scrap the Mustang. Get a corvette. '59. Black. Convertible. Then come by and pick me up.

I have never had a mustang or even a mustang carboretor 65 - whenever.

My advice to you is find a good mechanic and pay to have it done.

Carburetor replacement is a very straightforward process unless you're replacing one carb with another of a different design (for example, replacing the stock carb with a high-performance model).

Before beginning, remove the replacement carburetor from its box and locate any identifying castings or labels.

1. Remove the air cleaner housing.
2. Label and then remove all hoses and wires connected to the carb.
3. Unbolt the carb from the intake manifold and pull it off the engine.
4. Stuff a clean, lint-free rag in the intake manifold opening.
5. If necessary, clean the mating surface of the intake manifold by scraping off any gasket residue.
6. Compare the new carburetor and the original to make certain that it is a true and accurate replacement. Check for identifying castings or labels to be certain.
7. Install the gasket on the intake manifold.
8. Bolt the replacement carb. in place.
9. Carefully torque the mounting bolts per the specifications.
10. Carefully replace all hoses and wires, being sure to get all connected where they belong.
11. Replace the fuel filter if one is installed close the carburetor and you have better access to it now than you will once the air cleaner housing is reinstalled.
12. Replace the air cleaner housing.
13. Set the idle and main screws to the default initial settings (see the instructions that came with the replacemetn carb).
14. Start the car and adjust the idle as needed.
15. Enjoy.

I've only done it in a '65 Spin, sorry. And I did it the Nightbird method.

Nope, nope, nope...my '87 Toyota MR2 corners and takes curves much much better than both the Mustang and the Corvette

That's because it's a Toyota. The vettes just have more style. That and i've got this thing for a good classic vette....

Easy.
Take loose everything that holds the old carb on. Remove the non-functioning air-sucker. Place the new carb where the old one was - use new gaskets, no glove, no love - and screw, etc everything back the way it was.
My next move on my '69 'Stang was usually to close the hood and bend over and stretch out across it to make sure the creaky crooked springs had closed evenly. If my boyfriend was helping me, this part took the longest.
Once everything was in place, we test drove it, stopping to adjust the jets on the new carburator occasionally and repeating checking the hood springs until we were totally satisfied.


I'm very picky about my rods and how they perform. This could take a while.
