I HAD A BREAKDOWN 69 new carb trouble

You are in the right place. The OG group of posters here connected via Yahoo back in the 90’s.

Neal is one of them & his advice is always solid. I can only add that the wire running under the carb linkage should run along the inside of the valve cover. EDIT: Not the inside, but along the edge facing the intake, and not over the plug wires, underneath so it lays flat. The factory provided a clip or two held by the valve cover bolts for this purpose.

One summer, my daily driver was a '69 AMX 390 4-speed car. If you floored it, the throttle would stick wide open, so I know how interesting that can be in rush hour traffic. :wink: That turned out to be something similar: vacuum hose & fuel line that were in the way, I think. I neatened it up & it never recurred.

In SoCal, all my moterhead pals are in the SoCal Cougar Club. You’ll want to check that out.

You’d be surprised how many there are in the Los Angeles area. We are just really spread out, from the High Desert to Orange County. All good folks, many of whom would be willing to help.

Where exactly are you located?

In Valencia, a town in the Santa Clarita Valley about 45 min from LA just up the 5 freeway

Look at the address on the newsletter I posted in the So. Cal. Group… :mrgreen:

That’s where my Cougar lived most of it’s previous life…
