At the moment grandad painted it cream (house paint )

The colour white just seems to blend in with the crowd
What is it like to have a matte or satin black Corty
Black Betty looks unreal so dose Proz4c

I went in to autobarn today to buy spark plugs and came home with the wrong ones .
I went back in to change them and found out my 250 precross flow has the 200 ci head.
Is this a good thing or bad ?
What would be the purpose for the 200 head ?

Need help please
I got my cortina running like a dream for the first time since it was rebuilt.
The next morning I got up and started the Corty again use the choke and it was running ok and got warmed up
Then it started to run a little weird and stalled
If I use the choke or accelator when I start it its ok but as soon as I take my foot off I dies automatically its got me stuffed
Anyone know what might be wrong

Have you set up the air/fuel mixture rite?.timing ok ?,idle speed?.What about screwing in idle speed to increase revs and keep it running then start her up ,then drop idle speed back so it still runs then check mixture etc and timing,guess you already did all that eh.

All seems good with hoses
The petrol tank is dry when I got the car so maybe I might of pick up some shit from the bottom of the tank and it blocked the carbie ?
