1973 montego mx

[daveydavido]

i have a 1973 montego mx with a 351w in it. It's having alot of trouble running and starting, it might be a problem with the carb and it had a vaccuum leak which i plugged and no luck. Im right on inkster and michigan ave so if someone thats nearby could maybe help me out by takin a look at it that would be great. It's my daily driver and it just stopped running right so any help would be very much appreciated. If you would want compensation for work beer can be arranged haha.

thanks

This could be a lot of different things. Could you describe the symptoms a little bit better? What exactly is it doing?

well u can obviously hear a vaccuum leak, it trys to turn over and now it doesnt even do that, before itd just turnover and never start no matter how much gas i gave it

x2. Is it getting fuel and spark? How old are the plugs,wires,etc? Where was the vaccuum leak exactly?

[daveydavido]

i just replaced plugs and wires, when i push the throttle i can see the gas spraying in the carb
