the  webber carb is cheaper than a new  stock ford carb  and its progressive  so only using  1 barrel till you get in it, am also thinking of the header route also  from classix and they  have the  adaptor for the webber carb aslo and may be a mild cam latter on  was thinking of a v8 but  read a few articles and  think  i can get t decent amout ov  opwer from the six  at  a cheaper  investment  thanks fo ryou imput  jim

i have a 65 mustang with a 200 cui six and have been reading  a vit  on them and thinking of  keeping it and making a few changes  to get  a bit more power.  i have a c4 tranny  in a coupe, what i am thinking of doing is junking the  lod o maticd junk dist. and going to a hei, but need to  get vacume for the advance and  my question is if i t off o f the vacume lind going to the tranny will mess up the shifting of the trans.  there ios a port  just below the carb butr not sure what the size and threds are the person that i got it from put a bolt in tht hole and may hve messed up some of the threads.  if some one knows the size of that port  i can get a fitting and try to  use it or  maybe  rethread it and use.  i am planning on  using a webber 2v car and  not sure if they have a prot for vacume if they do i will be ok.  any way  any info from those who have mor experiance  with  the six than i do.,
thanks jim
