COMET CENTRAL

For my 69 SCJ Cyclone I'm needing a source for the woven cloth loom used in the trunk area.
Must be factory appearing as original.
Thanks
Mike

Sorry for not responding but have been real busy. Thanks for all guidance regarding my idler arm issue. I could not find a bushing replacement so I went the expensive route with a new Rare Parts idler arm. Now to get it installed and wait for warmer weather to drop the top and take it for a ride! Th...

Who has replaced their idler arm on a V8 power steering 64 Comet? 64 is completely different from a 65. How about a bushing kit, has anyone rebuilt one? I have ordered from some suppliers including Rare Parts and have never received the correct one. Who out there has had success with this part? Than...

Hey Red, welcome to the site. I was just down to your store this morn to get some of your World Famous Summer Sausage. Give me a call sometime and I'll show you my Comets up here in Millstadt.

Your cars sound familiar do you live and or work for the city of Lake Mills?

Thanks for the info, I'll have to put this on my list of improvements after I get the Rack and Pinion project finished. Mike

Great find!!!!! We keep getting these Comets back on the road there maybe a day will come when we out number Camaro's!!!!! Mike

I don't know, i'm going to go look at a 64 Falcon (4 speed car) and see how the rack sits in that car and measure lenght of steering column. I'll let ya know. Mike

Hi John, glad to hear it all worked out. The AOD sounds interesting. Did it fit the transmission tunnel or did you have to modify it. I'm looking to upgrade my convert and have given this swap some thought. Mike

Yes I have a 64 convert with bucket seats, console and 289 4v and automatic. Sorry to say but it is totally rust free and was repainted in 1969. I bought it from a lady in Vandalia Il in 1988. My dad was born and raised in New Athens. Mike

How do I go about posting pix on this site???

Hi Roy and thanks. I've seen your car a lot on a few sites and I hope you can make it to Bowling Green this year. We have not missed the event since it started. We don't race there because there is so much to see and good racing to watch. My racing consists of mostly all Ford races and Nostalgia rac...

Looking Good!!!! We need another '64 convert here in Ill, I'm just north of you in Millstadt. Keep at it. Mike

After making a post elsewhere I thought I would say Hi. I'm a long time Comet fan going back to my 64 Caliente 4 speed car in '73. Sold it in '77 and bought my 64 convertable in '88 and my '64 Cyclone in '91. The Cyclone is a street/strip car with a mild 351 and runs 12:10. Also have a '69 Cyclone S...

I contacted Unisteer today and as I thought, the u-joint needs to be approx 1 1/2" from the firewall to make the angle to the rack. He stated that IDIDIT aftermarket columns with auto shift linkage will work. I have a call into them now. I'm not really wanting to change to an aftermarket column as t...
