The V-8 you're refering to is a 302 cubic inch (4.9 liter) 90-degree smallblock. In the 1971 Maverick, it was rated at 210 horse power @ 4600 RPM and 296 ft lbs. torque @ 2600 RPM.
This rating is at the flywheel and will be less at the rear wheels. I don't know exactly what specifications you're looking for, but the tune-up specs are as follows:
*Spark plugs---BRF-42 gap = .032-.036
*Point gap = .021---point dwell = 24-29
*Ignition timing = 6 degrees BTDC (add 2 to 6 degrees for high altitude cars)
*Idle spd. = 800 RPM (neutral) 650 RPM (Drive)
*Firing order = 1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8
*Oil filter = Motorcraft FL1-A or equivilant
...let us know what other specifications you need and we'll be happy to help...
: Hello everyone, I am 18 and got a old maverick, 1971. And I wonder if anyone got any technical specs on the maverick. I dont know whick engine I got since I havent started to fix it yet. But it is not a V8. I would be very glad for all information.
