Re: Another dumb paint question

Re: Idle problem after carb rebuild

It could be a vacuum leak from a gasket in the rebuild. Take a can of wd40 and spray the carb while it is running and see if it causes the engine to speed up which means that there is a leak at that point of the spray. More than likely the last post will fix your carb problem. Spray the vacuum hose ...

Re: Hood Hinges

There are people that rebuild the original. Check in Hemmings news magazine for people that do that. If yours are bent they may not be able to repair them. If my memory serves me correct there are some members on other ford sites that repair them with new pins etc
