I don' know what the actual gears are, I'm sure they are the original gearing for an original 3spd. If manual transmissions were 3.0 then that is probably what I have. In any event, changing gear ratios is a much bigger job that I want to get into unless something goes bad.

My original mustang was an early production 67 390cid gta fastback. I knew everything about that car. Had all options except tilt steering. Plus it was super special "Basketcase deluxe!"

This 65 mustang I don't know it all yet :-P What I do know is that it has 2 options. V8 engine and Convertable top. But its very clean and appears to be basketcase free so I'm happy. Overtime I'm going to add all gt/pony options.

But today I'm trying to understand the mystery of the carburator!
Here's what I know
Holley 600cfm vac secondary w/ electric choke (it does get frosty in winter)= all good
Jets I know sorta about 65's sound good

Here's what I need to ask more about
Side hung vs Center hung ?
Dual feed vs Single feed ?

What else should I know about carbs?
