If you have a carburetor, there is a crew on the driver side behind the throttle cable it usually has a spring on it if you turn it to the right it idles up left it idles down
If its a fuel injected motor idle is handled by the computer. There usually is a "base idle speed" around 800-1000 RPM. This normally doesn't need to be adjusted.
Have a look for carbon build up on the butterfly as well, this will influence idle too.
No
The ignition timing for a 1970 Ford Mustang with 302 - V8 - 2 barrel carburetor is : ( 6 degrees BTDC )
The 1978 Ford Mustang - 302 - 2 barrel carburetor - is rated at 134 horsepower at 3400 RPM and 250 ft-lbs torque at 1600 RPM
Sorry no, the intake manifold would have to be changed
The last Ford 302 engine equipped with a carburetor was produced in the early 1990s, specifically in the Ford Mustang and other models. By 1995, Ford transitioned to fuel injection systems, phasing out carbureted engines in favor of more efficient and reliable technologies. The 302 engine itself continued to be used in some applications for several years after, but carburetor versions became increasingly rare.
yes ,i've done it to a 302 and it ran fine
In a 1969 Mustang , 302 with 2 barrel carburetor , the point gap is ( .017 with automatic transmission ) and ( .021 with manual transmission )
Look in your engine compartment for the VECI sticker ( Vehicle Emission Control Information ) on the fan shroud or in front of the radiator. Or , the 8th " character " of your VIN indicates which engine you have On the 1985 F series: " F " is the 5.0 L ( 302 cubic inch ) V8 with 2 barrel carburetor " N " is the 5.0 L ( 302 cubic inch ) V8 with fuel injection ( EFI ) " G " is the 5.8 L ( 351 cubic inch ) V8 with 2 barrel carburetor " H " would be a 5.8 L ( 351 C I ) V8 with 4 barrel carburetor ( Available in F150 ? ) " L " would be a 7.5 L ( 460 C I ) V8 with 4 barrel carburetor ( Available in F150 ? )
between 5-7 psi, If it is fuel injected or has a carburetor makes a difference.
probably a bad idle air controller.
I don't know if it is the same but the EGR valve on my 1977 Ford 302 was underneath the carburetor at the back of a spacer
The intake on the 1979 Ford 302 engine is different than the intake on the 1993 Ford 302 engine. The intakes are not interchangeable.
