The Falcon gets a Carb? (Why am I swapping from EFI to carb?)

Boomer power. Im getting old. My kids show me how to operate my phone sometimes.

“Normal Ford things” I love it. Gave me a solid chuckle.

I see FI in the future of my 69 Mustang also. However, i agree that getting things running and broken in with a carb is a great idea. Another serious concern is aftermarket FI compatibility with gas pump E85. Depending on your state, the war on gasoline (common E10) may cause the E10 price to skyrocket or not be available at all (the direction of California). However, E85 will likely be around for a long time due to decades of success of the corn lobby with Congress. I am waiting for a reasonably priced aftermarket FI kit that can be converted from E10 to E85 (or vice versa) without hacking the ECU control code or other sketchy procedures. I can't get over how nice that Grabber blue looks, by the way!

Excellent points! So I know the ms3 pro will work as a flex fuel option. And I like the ms3 pro for its “open source” feel. I haven’t looked too far into it to know the details but it may be worth looking at. And thank you for the compliments on the mustang! It came out really nice and I’m definitely pleased with it.

Do yourself a favor and get some ball type collectors for your headers, they seal Great without a gasket and allows you to correct the different angles that you have. Good Luck!!

I’ve ran them in the past and they are wonderful!

You should have cut out the extra bolt seal from the water ports on the intake manifold gaskets. It won’t hurt sealing and helps flow.

[@rdspeedfab]

Never knew that! I’ll be sure to do that in the future! Thank you for the tip!

Beautiful car!! A twin to mine😍. Hope mine will be as fast 😂

[@rdspeedfab]

Thank you!

[@jamesherder3712]

That's a surprising twist but I totally agree with ur reasons for going with a carb I feel the same way I did catch u not sealing the walls but thought maybe u just didn't film it haha

[@rdspeedfab]

Yeah I think it makes sense. And yeah lol im just glad I remembered when I was in bed! 🤣

[@jamesherder3712]

@@rdspeedfab I can do one better I forgot to install the oil pressure gauge once when Dyno Tuning a 350 chevy and ended up covered in oil 🤣

[@rdspeedfab]

@jamesherder3712 🤣🤣. I primed the blue mustang with no oil filter on it. Didn’t start it but still made a huge mess.
