Re: Former Comet owner looking to own one again.
Hi guys and gals. From 2003-2008 I owned a '65 Comet convertible. I enjoyed the car but eventually traded it for a '59 Galaxie that I still own. However, I am in the market for another '65 Comet as I miss owning that car. Any tips on '65 Comets for sale are appreciated, especially convertibles. I'd...

Re: AM Autoparts Upper & Lower Ball Joints
I buy Moog parts from Rockauto.com. I just replaced the upper ball joints and coil springs with Moog that I bought from Rockauto.com. Lots of these parts are made in China now.

Re: Cometcentral not secure?
I use Chrome on my phone, no problems. I was using Firefox on the laptop, got that error every time I logged on. I always ignored it. Firefox crashed, so I'm using Microsoft Edge. No error.

Re: Parking brake
I always use my parking brake. I pull on the parking brake with transmission still in gear, then shift into park. That keeps it from rolling against the pawl. About three years ago I went to Walmart. there was two young men trying to help a young woman who had a flat tire. They had jacked up her car...

Re: Holidaying!
We're on the island right now, regular 155 ish in Nanaimo, 161 in Victoria. 'Bout the same in Van as Victoria. So, that's about $6.00/gal Canadian, or $4.45 US for regular? :shock: OUCH! :x It's running $2.26 to $2.50 US here right now. We were in Virginia earlier this week and it was $2.69. Jim I ...

Re: 65 Comet Steering
I changed to manual steering four years ago. Found a new V8, manual steering drag link for 65 Comet/Falcon on eBay. Bolted right up to pitman arm, tie rods and idler arm. Also stayed with ps box. Drives nice, takes a bit more effort to turn the steering wheel when not moving. It did change the toe i...

Re: Wanted 65 Comet backup lens
I need both lens. Ordered from Macs, same results. I've been looking for couple years now,, no find yet. I bought two new front brake drums from Macs. I bought the same drums from Rockauto last year. Made in China, had them turned, but braking above 35 mph got some violent chatter. Bought two new on...

Re: Rats, Rats, Rats, Rats
We had them in the house couple years ago. Got them cleared out. I've removed two nests in the shed. Each time I found some missing tools. Sockets, screwdrivers, and more. I'm still missing some tools. I had some car cassette and CD units on a shelf that rats chewed off the connectors. I leave a lig...

Re: what did you do to your comet today?
Went to a car show at the Sams Club in Prescott Valley. Not too many cars as it was raining. Did see a nice looking 59 Ford pickup that had a front plate with Grumpy on it. It's grumpy because it had chevy engine in it.
