Recently purchased a 66 mustang with a 200 cc 6 cyl engine. Hadn't been moved in over a year. Finally got it started and seems to run fairly well.. As long as it's in park. I've rebuilt the carburator, tuned it up, added a selenoid, etc.. but the problem is that as soon as I put it in drive or reverse, the car shakes pretty badly.. I've driven it for short distances and the shaking gets really bad before it gets worse, then a bit better.. but hardly any power.. can get up to 55mph, but that's the max. Now I get poofs of gas out of the carburator, as if it's going to shut off, as soon as i take my foot slightly off the pedal, it comes back and may continue to run if it doesn't shut off.. but it will start right up. It has an automatic transmission, but seems to delay greatly in shifting. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
