Re: '88 F*rd Festiva Autocross/Track/Daily Driver Build

The old engine leaked like crazy so the engine bay was filthy. I pressure washed it then scrubbed it with Purple Power degreaser.












After.










New engine in.




Had some trouble with vacuum leaks, and I didn't find out that the idle mixture screw was blocked until after I'd installed the carb. I also forgot to trim the fuel cut solenoid stem so the car wouldn't idle at first...
