I'm thinkin abot pickin up a friend for dir cheap.....It's got a 351 in it but it's also got Rack and pinion problems....how hard is this to fix.....also there's a little hole on the lower front of the carburator that squirts gas pretty good...It looks like there may have been a smal plug in there or something....it's the original carburator that came on the 302 can anyone let me know what this could be??

nodiggity-

This post may get more replies over in the Late Model board. 79 is a fox body, and they would know about the r&p stuff.

Northern Auto Parts (they have their whole catalogue online) has a wide assortment of rebuilt racks about as reasonable as you will find.

The litle hole? Maybe used to have an idle mixture adjustment needle in it? Is there a screw-like deal about the same location on the other side of the carb? Just a silly thought.
