Re: New guy from Gulfport, Ms. just bought a 64 Comet....

Should not be a p valve on the front brakes! you want those to get all the fluid they can get!!! open it all the way up & see if it helps. So is the brass thing a p valve too? I dont blame you, I'd redo it ALL too! get a dual MC with built in r. valve, put the adjus. p. valve on the back brakes, ne...

Re: New guy from Gulfport, Ms. just bought a 64 Comet....

On the single master on a '64 the brake switch is screwed into the master cylinder. There wasn't a dual and I think Rocket is saying when you switch too a dual it is on the rear. I think I will go with one similar to this when I make the switch - http://www.ebay.com/itm/322012637515?ssPageName=STRK...

Re: New guy from Gulfport, Ms. just bought a 64 Comet....

but the pedal is very hard The jelly jar MC is a single circuit - I wonder if your feeding the front discs with a 10lb. residual valve in said circuit. I'd think that'd be an easy check on the MC, and I would also expect the front discs to be dragging; pop a wheel off and try to turn it. If the MC ...

Re: New guy from Gulfport, Ms. just bought a 64 Comet....

Well it doesn't jump all up in your face like the white did. I think if it was a darker blue it might look more like a ghost stripe, which I think would look good. But that like you have it looks much better to me . Hey did the export brace have a brand? I couldn't remember . Well....Im going a dif...

Re: New guy from Gulfport, Ms. just bought a 64 Comet....

If you ordered the one from the link on the thread that Jim posted, from ebay, that is the one I got & is as cheap as you'll find with shipping , & is a good piece. Like rocket said most ppl put a piece of thin angle iron on the cowl, welded or bolted. I put mine underneath the lip/flange & it does...

Great price on air shocks....

I want to put some air shocks on my 64.

Re: New guy from Gulfport, Ms. just bought a 64 Comet....

Zeek,,, Nice Comet! I also like the blue. 235/60 or 245/60 (with proper size and offset wheel) is about all you can fit on the rear without modifications. This is the most comprehensive forum on Comets there is, I'm sure you will enjoy it here. Lou That would be plenty of tire for me....I dont plan...
