I have the stock Ford 4100 carb which continues to do a good job. I recently installed the Pertronix ign. system and is doing well also.
As 4-5-6 says, I would take a good look at your ign. system and carb. --black smoke means too rich.

Joe,
Forgot to ask: how do I select a 'hotter' plug? Do I just ask for a hotter one at the Auto Parts store and will they even know for a '65?
Thanks in Advance
