COMET CENTRAL

Just three weekends away. Let's talk it up! Who, besides me, is planning to come?

Check for an exhaust leak, maybe a cracked manifold? I had a header gasket leak and had the same issues you are experiencing, new gasket problem solved. I've noticed what sounds like an exhaust leak at the donut gasket where the manifold connects to the exhaust pipe on one side. I'll check that out...

I'm getting an annoying popping and crackling noise from the exhaust when the car is decelerating with the engine holding it back (4-speed). It's more noticeable at slower speeds vs. expressway speeds. No loud backfires, just popping and crackling. Engine is 302, cast iron headers, dual exhaust with...

It all looks great, Lou! Very creative use of heat shrink. I've only used it for electrical projects, but it can obviously be used for lots of stuff if you think outside the box.

FUN FUN FUN WITH THAT 331!!

Fits right in to a Beach Boys classic: "He'll have fun, fun, fun with his 331 all day!".

Jim

Looks good! Any rubbing issues with the wider tires?

Jim

Happy Birthday, Boss!!

Yeah, ditch the skirts and it's a good looking ride. I'm not a fan of skirts to start with, but the way it breaks the body molding with a blank space of body color just looks weird in my book. Otherwise, it's pretty sharp.

Jim

You stalked that project for a long time, but when you pounced you went for the kill. Looks good. I know you're itchin' to get it back on the road. It's been a while.

Jim

If its got a sbf in it, it belongs here.

This was a door prize I won at last year's Comet Gathering in Pigeon Forge.

Congrats, Pop! You and Glenda have 6 years on us, but we're working on it.

Jim

I can’t answer your question, but welcome aboard!

Jim

We stayed in Moab when we visited Arches national Park. Beautiful country. Your car is looking great, too!

Spring is finally here! Beautiful day in the upper 70's. Went to Cars and Coffee this morning and another local cruise in this afternoon. The guy with the "Gears" built Cougar was at C&C again and let my 9 year old grandson sit behind the wheel. https://i.postimg.cc/k4fPYRxq/IMG-0212-1.jpg https://i...
