So I've owned my t-bucket for a couple years now and am starting to replace basic parts. The engine hasn't completely been running right, so I'm going down the possible list (spark plugs, ignition, compression, etc...).
I had believed that I owned a 1983 mustang 302, but it turns out that I have a 1986 Thunderbird 302 and a 1983 mustang manifold. The Thunderbird engine was a fuel injected, but now the mustang manifold makes it a 4 barrel carburetor. The carburetor is an Edelbrock/Weber 1411.
I'm newish to any type engine work, but I do know that just because it fits doesn't mean it works. Does anyone know if this combination is helping or hurting the performance? Or is there a way to find out if this block/manifold/carb combination is ideal?
