First, what kind of carb. 2bbl.......4bbl....make, model, holley, roch. , edel., Is the engine cam'ed ? Stock ? Want more info? Get back to me on my message board.
For a 1968 Cougar with a 302 ci/ 2 bbl carb, you will want to set the timing at 6*B from TDC
Fuel flow! either blockage in fuel pipe or float level in carb set incorrectly.
From what I could find , it looks like the 1985 F-150 with the 302 ( 5.0 L ) was available with the VIN - " F " - 302 with 2 barrel carb or the VIN - " N " - 302 EFI 1985 was the first year a fuel injected 302 was available in the F-150
what year and model is the 302 in? Carb / injected Auto / std?
check on www.summitracing.com for the components you need.
erm? bracket? huh? the intake and carb require gaskets, and those can be obtained from any auto parts store
According to Autozone, there wasn't a 302 in 1981. It listed the V8 as a 4.2L = 255. It had a 2bbl carb on it. If it was modified, then it could have a 4bbl carb on it. One of the first things I did with my 82 GT was remove the original carb and intake and replaced with a new Edelbrock Performer dual plain intake and Edelbrock Performer carb 750 to match. It opened it right up, however no normal car needs a 750 carb. A 600 or 650 is optimum for these Mustangs. Here's some diagrams to get you started: http://www.autozone.com/shopping/repairGuide.htm?pageId=0900c1528004df83
A stock 302 engine with a two barrel Carb has 210 horsepower and 300 lb ft of torque, with a four barrel, 230 horsepower and 310 lb ft of torque.
The best power adders for a 302 are a 4 barrel carb with a 1/2 inch space in between the carb and the intake manifold. Then put on headers and straight pipes!! Also use Bosch platinum plus 2 spark plugs replace your wires and distributor cap and you are ready to go!!
