So I have decided to keep the maverick and make it my driver. After driving 40 miles I noticed good power up until 55mph it would sputter and bog down, I would lay off the pedal and I am guessing the fuel pump would catch up and then I could accelerate to 65 then again have the same issue. I am thinking it has a weak fuel pump or I have reached the limits of the Carter yf, I am now looking to change to OZ250 2V head. Once my budget permits this of course.
Glad to hear your keeping the car. I'm interested in this project since my other idea fell through. Look forward to updates.
