<x-charset iso-8859-1>I bought my daughter a 1974 Mustang II (Pinto in a party dress) years ago. It had a 2.3 with the Holley/Weber on it. The carb was a POS (along with everything else). I was continuously trying to keep it tuned where it would run. I always wondered why the VW folk put them on their cars when there were other better carbs. Thomas E.

The Pinto's never ran right... and that was the engine the carb was designed for... the 2.3L. Im really amazed that the 1600 can run at all with it.
