Make sure your Autolite is up to snuff with a simple rebuild kit, new filters, and attention to detail (http://www.mustangmonthly.com/howto/mump_1201_autolite_carburetor_rebuild/index.html)In this day and age of electronic fuel injection, we find it strangely comforting when we walk up to a vintage Mustang at a show or cruise-in and see the age-old mechanical fuel mixer sitting atop the engine's intake manifold. Unfortunately, the old hot rod adage of "bigger is always better" often rules the day when it comes to carburetion (and camshafts, and exhaust, and valve size, and so on!). We regularly see mild 289ci and 302ci small-block Fords wearing 650-750 four-barrel carburetors, all in the name of more performance. However, a carburetor of that size is usually just wasting fuel and giving you poor fuel economy.
