Hi Lisa, Don't know if it will fit on your mustang. It would depend on the carb your mustang currently has, but will likely fit. I bought the Holley to replace a motorcraft/autolite 2100 2 barrel carb on a 304 v8 jeep engine. The gas conection is on the side of the gas bowl opposite the linkage. This carb comes with a manual choke so you will need it install a choke control or buy the automatic choke conversion kit.

my mustang is a inline six. I had to re route the fuel line and change the gas pedal and use and apt plate. This carb started up on the first try. I would highly recommend this holley.

It Should work just fine...the cfm should be about right for it.....I used it on a 68 Ford with a 390.....and it basically bolted right up You will need the linkage adapter kit if it has an automatic transmission....and may have to use the old baseplate if that is used as a vacuum port for power brakes.....but it was a nice replacement carb for that Ford 2300 2-V. I would also recommend the electric choke kit for it...but now my car starts instantly....idles and accelerates fine.

it should work just fine i would by the gas line inlet kit, or you can pick up a short brake line at a parts store.yes a brake line. the carb. worked fine foe me and i get better mpg.good luck!

Looking at the carb from the front of the car the gas inlet is facing the leftI am not familiar with the throttle and kickdown linkage on the mustang but it is a replacement for a Ford carb so it should be pretty close. It just bolted up on a Bronco

This should work fine on your Mustang Lisa. The fuel inlet fitting will stick out the passenger side of the float bowl near the front of the carburetor as it's mounted on the intake. If your car has the original two barrel motorcraft carburetor with the fuel line going in the front, you'll probably need to cut the steel line and use a piece of rubber fuel tubing between your original steel line and the inlet fitting on this carburetor. On the other hand, if your car does have the motorcraft carburetor you'd really be better off just rebuilding and running that one!

Yes it will and the gas inlet is going to be located on the front passenger side of the carb, its facing down and to the left at a 45 degree angle. Hope this helps

I installed this distributor on a 73 Bronco with a 302. The 302 and 289 are the same on the outside and it fit fine. The cap is a little bigger so I would check for obstructions like your air cleaner. My engine runs so much better now. I replaced a stock distributor with an electronic upgrade to this HEI unit and what a difference. It idles stone cold with no choke and it never did that before.

I had to tinker with it. The white and red plastic plugs that cover the two jet scres are not attached and were not easily put on. No instructions came with it.....and really should. The idle screw needed to be turned out. It's running well now. The old carb succumbed to the ethanol rust. Learned my lesson on letting any gas wit in it over winter.

I bought one of these as the correct replacement for a '71 dual port engine...it runs fine, no jetting issues that I can discern...my engine is dead stock, if you've got a stock engine that recommends this carb, I'd say go for it. Robert H.

It will work just make sure the line from the motor and the lines to the carb aren't starting to crack and replace them as necessary. Don't forget will take mixed gas now.

Same engine and carb but different chain adjustment. Maybe other stuff too. I got mine working today. It needed a new carb. The ethanol in gas ate the plastic check valves. I will update my review.

If MAY work, but it is not designed for that engine. The adjustments are there for a purpose. You may not get satisfactory results when substituting carbs

Good Morning, Yes this should work without any problems with your Mustang combo. The install directions should be included in our listing, if not please let us know and I will get a copy of them sent over. From the install instruction you should be able to see how it installs and if you think there would be any issues with your set up but I have never run into any problems. Please let me know if you have any other questions and have a great day! Thanks Paul

The 2011 - 2014 mustang with the 3.7 engine all share the same exhaust and routing. Yes this exhaust will work.

Hello, According to your Honda engine's sn. NO, this carb will NOT work. Below is the link to the one made for your Honda engine. http://www.amazon.com/16100-Z0L-862-GENUINE-General-CARBURETOR-ASSEMBLY/dp/B00IFTQY6M/ref=sr_1_cc_1?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1429474339&sr=1-1-catcorr&keywords=Z0L-862+GASKET

This carburetor "Should" work. I can't say 100% for a few reasons. #1 I have no idea how stock your engine is. #2 this is a universal carb. So you will have to work out the details of linkage connection and fuel line connection location. I installed it on a 390 with no issues except linkage connection and fuel line location. Runs great with out of the box setup.

I would install the carb first to see if it will run ok. Then only adjust if u have unstable idle or live in a high altitude area

Seriously, people. Do some homework and know what you're playing with. Read up on Ford small block history. If you have a 289 or a 302, this distributor will work. No exceptions. Every. Single. 289. Or. 302. Period.And the review from Del? You did it wrong if your car doesn't run anymore. Obviously.

You can make it work but you'd have to jet it and have a full exhaust to make it run right. Youre better off getting a hi flow drop in with a modified airbox lid(remove it)and do the same mods. It'll be more reliable and the performance gain will be the same. Coincidentally, you can't remove the lid without re-jetting your carbs for the extra flow.

Check that the bolt pattern is the same and then the linkage. Do you have an electric choke now? If not you will need to run a 12 volt wire to the choke. The carb looks and works great.

the carb comes pre set and should match exactly but as always may have to be tweaked, so try as is first, also people show how to adjust snow blower or gas engines carbs on internet

Yes, this will work. Carb is easy to tune also. Cold start is great but I also had a Holley street avenger that I felt had better performance. The Holley didn't cold start great however
