Changing the serpintine belt tensioner assembly is cake; if your belt goes and you keep pushing the engine, your screwed.

the emulsion tube may have built up lacquer. take of your filter and look inside bore , rigth above the throtle plate you will see the emulsion tube should point straigth down , just spray some carb cleaner. also spray some carb cleaner into the float tank. these cars have mechanical fuel pumps. you could check for presure or just pull the pump , if the diafragm is leaking gas into the cam lever then its bad, i would recomend installing an electric facet pump, those work great on VW beetles wich use a similar weber/solex carb design. facet pumps are very inexpensive, about $20 at the autozone, just ask for a low pressure universal pump
a friend of mine and I changed the fuel filter, oil pan gasket, exhaust gasket and the oil in my car today. hopefully all this stops the oil puddles in my drive way
i just have to find someone to help me install the speakers
speakers are easier than removing an oil cap.
i cant figure out which post is positive and which one is negative it didnt come with a book or instructions so im sol
for automotive aplications , black wire is always ground , red is usually positive
I finally got around to taking some pictures of my Mustang.
I siphoned out the old gas and cleaned out the corroborator, replaced the oil and gasoline as well as automatic transmission fluid (which leaked out almost as fast as I poured it in, I remember it working fine so it's leaking is news to me). The battery has been replaced along with the terminals.
Ok here is the carburetor

No it's a 289 Doc
Great idea for a sticky.
Here's an issue I've been fighting with for 2 years now.
I have a 1998 Jeep Wrangler, 5 speed, 4 wheel drive.
The problem is during humid weather or right after a rain, when
I try to start it up, it will studder and almost stall out. I can still
get it running, but thru the first to second gear I have to gun it
so it doesn't bog down or stall out.
I've had it to many mechanics but when they drive it, it never
does it.
I've heard everything from clogged catalitic converter, to O2 sensor
and bad plugs. All of these have been changed and checked out.
Help plz...
Yes I had the same problem I just labeled them once I gotit right. This is an ongoing project of mine so if anyone wants to chime in please do.
Much leaking going on but I figure this is because it's been sitting for over a year?
well over a year man, the gaskets are ****e and its going to be a job to complete the task but man will it ever feel good once it's all complete
