Shifting too soon
65 Comet, 200-6, C4 transmission. At full throttle, the trans is upshifting at about 3,200 rpm. How can I make it shift higher, at say 4,500 rpm???

65 C4 V8?
I have a 65 Comet with a C4 trans and a 200 6, want to put a 302 in it, will that trans hold up or should I look for a C5 or C6? Talking less than 300 HP.

Re: Stalling when hot
A little update:
Problem isolated to the enrichment valve sticking when the carb gets hot. Working on a fix, probably just soaking it in carb cleaner over the weekend and exercising it with lube. Thanks for the info guys!!

Re: Stalling when hot
Much appreciated, not sure how much shipping would be from Missouri. I can probably find one locally if I look. What years/model cars am I looking for to get the dizzy?

Re: Stalling when hot
Has the water plate under the carb, just bypassed it this evening so unsure if it fixed anything yet. Only vacuum leak is at the throttle shaft but ive seen worse. The dizzy I have is vacuum advance only, no mechanical advance so disconnecting it would be a bad idea.

Re: 9" or 10" brakes
Well yea, I was just hoping there was an easy way, like all the 6 cyl. autos had 9" brakes or something like that.

9" or 10" brakes
Is there an easy way to tell if I have 9" or 10" brakes before I take them apart? I wanted to order up all the parts and didn't want to have to guess. Mine is a 65 404 4-door with a 200-6 and a C4.

Re: Won't let me post pics
