Get smoother operation, reliability, and power from your Mustang Six with this six-cylinder tuning guide. (http://www.mustangmonthly.com/techarticles/mump_1211_six_cylinder_tuning_and_performance_guid e/)When Ford introduced the Mustang in April of 1964, the base powerplant was the Falcon's 170ci six with 101 horsepower and 156 lb-ft of torque. Later that year, in August, Ford updated the Mustang's engine line-up with the seven main bearing 200ci six as standard equipment. Both the 170 and 200ci sixes are well known and respected for rugged dependability. But engineering shortcomings have plagued them since the beginning. The greatest shortcoming is a lackluster induction system, which is positioned directly over a hot exhaust manifold. The Mustang six's ignition system was the old-school Ford/Holley Load-O-Matic distributor, which also offered disappointing performance.
