COMET CENTRAL

All the Murrays were bought out by CSK and then O'Reilly's. I got lucky because I know the distribution center operations manager in town and he found me some in stock! I am sure some parts stores have similar options, you just have to look around.

B_Hix- Thanks for compliment, it was a long road but very fun along the way. Always something else to do! The seats are aftermarket from Murray's, but you would never guess. I always looked at those aftermarket options as cheap or plastic looking, but these really surprised me. They came with slides...

Not sure why the pictures are missing a 1/3 of it, Anyone know?

This is my project for the last two winters. It started as an inline 6, auto with bench seat that needed some TLC. The first winter I stripped the interior completely and the motor and trans. After a lot of custom modifications I got the 351W in with the T5 (It sounds like a lot less work than it wa...

Just in case someone else looks here for info, here is what I ended up doing.... I got a new booster for a '76 Granada that was very well priced (less than $100 to my door), especially compared to sending my original in to be rebuilt($300 or more + shipping with core needed). All I needed was to add...

I got mine for a two door from trim parts http://www.trimparts.com. Also would recommend Auto Krafters, Dearborn Classics or Macs Auto. Those are the most common ones. hope this helps...Good Luck!

So, I just got done with a Grenada disc brake swap and everything looks good. I am now on the booster/master cylinder portion and have a question for anyone who has done this before. I bought a used booster from a guy, mainly for the bracket between the firewall and the booster itself. I opened the ...

Does anyone have a pic, or the part, for a radio antenna delete for the fender? I was going to make a custom one this winter, but was curious if anyone knows what they look like? Any insight will help. Thanks!

I was curious if any of the Comet East/Central clubs were going to be meeting at the Woodward Dream Cruise in Michigan? Just curious, I would love to be able to meet some of the people who have helped me so much, and others who love Comets. Just Throwing it out there!

Thanks Rod, I seem to get a bunch of help from you! Here is the progress so far... This used to be a inline six automatic, bench seat grandma car... Now, the project is starting to look like what I invisioned. Thanks for looking!! http://i340.photobucket.com/albums/o330/66comet/IMG_0696.jpg http://i...

Just a Question, but how did you guys insert the pictures on this post? Did you click the Img button and paste in something??? Just curious, cuz I would love to post my project for all 66-69 guys. I have worked all winter on it, and it is finally driving! Thanks in advance for the help, and the Pics...

IIGW- Welcome, and do not get discouraged! As you know, there are not a ton of parts around every corner. Have you contacted Pete from Pete's Parts? His wealth of knowledge is boundless, along with his contact list. He has steered me in the right direction several times. If not, I know a guy in Penn...

Tweaked- Not sure if you are saying you have seen some inexpensive headers, or that you have some you want to sell. I am still trying to get my project in the driving stage so I do not have a lot of money laying around to replace what I already have, but let me know what you want for them if you hav...

I need some help finding the push rod from the brake pedal to the brake booster that I am installing. Since the original had manual brakes, the push rod is made to go into the m/c. I got a brake booster but now I need the connecting push rod to the bracket that holds the booster. Any help would be g...

Well, either no one has done this swap, or no one wants to reply. Either way I have done the research and I can relay what I have found so far for anyone in the future that may look at this post. Because of clearence issues on the shock towers you only have three options from header manufacturers. T...
