Ford Torino Most Torinos were conventional cars, and generally the most popular models were the 4-door sedans and 4-door hardtops. However, Ford produced some high performance versions of the Torino by fitting them with large powerful engines, such as the 428 CID and 429 CID "Cobra-Jet" engines. These cars are classified as muscle cars.

Default Torino tuning

I am trying to get my 1972 Torino up and running. I have cleaned and installed a carb kit for my 2V 351C (H Code). The engine still runs rough and quite rich. I noticed the jets currently in this Motorcrft carburetor were miss-matched and I suspect too large. What size jets were stock for this carb/motor?

Finished the brakework. Installed missing pieces today and adjusted the rear brakes.

On to the leaking freeze plug.

Default power Valve

Hello

Check the power valve. It may be blown. You can use Holley power valves to replace.

This will leak fuel directly into your engine. even when not running. They can blow if your car back fires threw the carb. Or with old age.
