the casting on the manifold should be X code then, if it's a real experimental. all experimental Ford parts are marked with an X casting number. would be XD6 I think, meaning experimental 1966, because all Ford engines at that time and maby still are, backdated 1 year, so the engine is actully a '66 if it's original. X= Experiamental D= 1960 decade 6= 6th year.

Matt thanks for id info i'll write this down and it will go with me . I will be popping the hood before i do anything else. I'm hoping more for a S like he said for the hp and torque . 2 more days and i'll know for sure .

Hey, no problem, Bobby. I rather see someone get good use out of this carb than keep it hanging around serving no purpose. Like I said, it's not been used since 89 or 90 just cause my FE's since then have been multi-carbed. And of course no where near original FE vehicles.

Rather give it to some who can use it than throw it away while cleaning out my home.

Well, I am working on trying to get a garage built. Right now my shed is full of stuff and I have stuff stored in my brothers basement too.

I am really trying to get rid of some of it.

I've also got a BW T-10 4spd for a early FE big car (galaxie) that is apart and and I would sell it. Has the 49 to 64 bellhousing bolt pattern.

I had it rebuilt by a trans shop in WA state in 90 and they put it together with the thrust washer on the wrong side of second gear. I have never bothered to fix it.

That I would want some money for and it wouldn't work well in your Mustang but maybe someone else on here could use it.

And i have a wanted out on craigs list for a 4 spd . I did get a couple hits for a small block 4 spd . One is a close ratio and other is a wide . Guy i talked to said it will work but I will have to have a longer pilot bearing made for it .
