I have a 1967 Ford Mustang, 200 6 Cylinder, Auto. The car starts up and runs fine till it warms up. Then it starts to missing. I have had the carb rebuilt, new fuel pump, flushed out the fuel line running from the gas tank to the fuel pump. I have flushed out the gas tank. I am guessing (maybe wrong) that it is a fuel problem because the car runs fine till it warms up. I am just a weekend hobbist so my expertise as a mechanic is limited. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Ed

Idle mixture may be off too! Did you set it up, or just bolt it on?
Single or dual carb?
