1967 Mustang Carburetors
Your 1967 Ford Mustang's carburetor mixes fuel and air together perfectly. This means when the fuel-air vapor is ignited in the engine cylinder, you get the power you need. But as your 1967 Mustang carburetor ages, it may not function as well as it once did. Use a rebuild kit to return your 1967 carburetor to its former glory, or upgrade to an improved carburetor for more power.
The 1967 Ford Mustang GT carburetor has a relatively simple design but is made up of several different parts. If one part fails and you understand how it works, you may just want to replace the faulty part. However, upon closer inspection, you may want to upgrade to a modern carburetor.
The 1967 Mustang carburetor has a fuel reservoir referred to as a float-feed chamber. Fuel feeds into this reservoir and stops when it reaches a certain level, much like the water tank on a toilet. Fuel then flows from small inlets into a tube that contains a narrowed section referred to as a venturi.
On the top of this tube is the choke, which controls how much air can flow in. At the bottom of this tube is the throttle, which controls how much fuel vapor enters. The venturi creates a vacuum effect, which helps to pull fuel into the cylinders. As the throttle opens, more air flows in — creating a greater vacuum effect, thus allowing more fuel into the engine.
