Hey everyone! So, I’m currently knee-deep in restoring my '68 Mustang with a 289 V8 engine, and I’ve hit a bit of a roadblock. I’m trying to get everything sorted with the carburetor, but the hoses are giving me a headache. My Mustang has a stock 2-barrel Autolite 2100 carburetor, and while most things are going smoothly, I can’t seem to figure out the exact routing for all the hoses.
It’s my first time dealing with a carbureted engine, so I’m double-checking everything to make sure it’s hooked up right. I know the hoses connect to things like the vacuum advance, PCV valve, and possibly a few other places, but a lot of the original parts were missing when I got the car. I don’t want to guess and risk messing up the engine once I start it up.
Does anyone have a detailed diagram for the carburetor hoses on a 289 V8? Or even better, if you’ve got some clear photos of your setup, that would be super helpful. I just want to make sure everything is routed properly before I get the car running again. Any help would be appreciated – thanks in advance! Oh, and feel free to throw in any tips for tuning or getting the carb dialed in once it’s all set up!
