COMET CENTRAL

It was a NGK AP5FS.
I never heard bad stories about this brand so far.

The good message is that nothing fell into the motor.

Hey, after i fixed my engine problems i noticed a strange noise from the drivetrain. It comes from the transmission and it seems to be a damaged countershaft bearing or something related with it. When i shift to the third gear the noise disappears. My questions now are: Is there a common known part ...

I guess it is the transmission itself, the noise comes right out of the middle.
In the next days i will check it.

Hey, here is my final update for ths topic! I overhauled the oil pump ad installed the dist. yesterday, now the engine idles really smooth and accelerates really great. The vac. advance works again! Also i refilled some transmission fluid in my 3 speed trans. Now i hear a strange loud noise from the...

Thanks for your answer, i didnt check the vac. can yet! I really dont know how i forgot to check it! I did that now and noticed that it is broken, so i hope it was the problem. The "good" thing is that i noticed the worn oil pump drive shaft and the damaged dist. because i wanted to change the distr...

Good evening, id like to give you an update about my dist. project. I called Macs Autoparts today and asked for a dist. with mech advance and a 1/4 inch hex hole on the bottom. They told me there is not such a part, the 6 cil. distributors all have a 5/16 hole on the bottom and not a 1/4. That means...

Hey Guys, the dist. arrived yesterday and today i tried to swap it. More or less everything went wrong because now i have a car without an ignition system. The old one was hard to pull out but finally it came out with the oil pump drive unit. Its the little rod wich was stuck in the hexagon socket o...

Good evening, i searched for mustang parts and i found a shop in germany! I hope i get one with mechandical adv. now! At least i searched for 68 Mustang with 200 cui motor, so i should be the right one. I will let you know if it works. My next question would be if there is a trick to remove the old ...

The mechanical advance was my first thought too but when i took a close look at the dist i couldnt find it and so i looked it up on the internet. I found out that there is that Load-o-matic system but there wasnt an exact picture how it works with my carb, so i already thought about a totally other ...

So this is my first thread in this forum except my introduction! For everyone who hasnt seen it yet, my name is Erik and i am from Germany. If my English isnt correct sometimes please excuse me. :) I bought my comet some month ago and before it wasnt moved on fuel for over 5 years but on lpg. The wh...

Thank you for your warm welcome! It is nice to have some guys with knowledge about the Comet here! My Merc is in a 6 shape if i had to rate it from 1 to 10. Before i bought it this year it was waiting in a garage for 2 year to come back on the streets again. The previous owner did a chassis and brea...

There are some Cadillac Eldorados and othe full size fin cars with v8 here but the most popular cars are muscle cars around 1970.
Mustangs from 1965-1970 are almost as common on US car meetings as a Vw Golf!

Hey, my name is Erik and i will be 20 in a few days. I am from Lower Saxony, Germany and i own the only first generation Comet in my country which is registered. Last year i started working in a workshop after i finished High School but i already have some experience with classic cars because after ...
