COMET CENTRAL

So I think I found a site that sells the seals for my 63' Comet, at least if its the same as the Fordomatic. Would my 2-speed Mercomatic be a SMALL case or Medium case? Looking at a service manual on line I believe the trans model would be code PCM-F for my 170 cu in engine. Thanks for any help, Dou...

Thank you Bruce. I should have mentioned. Yes, I had the pan gasket done already. Months later I saw a small puddle under the car. I took it back to where I had the pan gasket done to have them look at it again. They said the pan is fine, but there is a leak at the tailshaft and also some sort of tu...

So I'm looking to have the seals and gaskets replaced on my 63' Comet with original 2-speed Mercomatic . My Comet has 75k miles on it and I'm thinking the seals/gaskets are original. It runs fine, just looking to stop any leaks. Have any of you done this in the past. What seal and gasket kits will I...

Merry Christmas!

In bed with influenza so no cars pics. Thankful for one of my sons coming down. We’re helping each other’s holiday.

Cheerio

Joe,
That's no way to spend the holidays. Feel better Buddy.
We are nursing our son back to health right now. Damn Covid!

Tis Mrs. Pickles season. Took the old girl out to stretch her legs yesterday here in NC. She runs like a champ. What she lacks in power, she makes up in extra doors. LOL. Merry Christmas everyone. Lets hope the new year brings better news to our country. https://i.postimg.cc/CM4qG025/mp1.jpg https:/...

I saw those taillights too. Ouch!!!
For that price I will make me a set out of aluminum foil and six red plastic drinking cups. Way cheaper.

That looks great! I dread the day I have to replace a fuse in that box. Knock on wood. Not much room to get my old pleasantly plump head and body down there to take a look. @@

I love the style of those rims!!! Beautiful design.

My first off season project mentioned itself yesterday while out for a cruise with my lovely. The 9" started to roar Seems another one of my half-assed repairs has gone array 🤪 I truly believe that someday in the future when a future caretaker is responsible for Sassy's wellbeing they will attempt ...

Thanks for all the great info and pix. Here are more photos I just took. It looks like I have the factory mounts like Pat’s. Not sure if they all came with those or not? The buckle itself has “Hamill” on it and the belt as the label as shown. The retractor for the belt has “Roll-a-belt” So maybe aft...

So I have a 1963 Comet, and I think seat belts were an option that year. A few questions: 1) Does anyone out there have factory seat belts in a 1963 or earlier Comet that they could post a picture of? 2) Was there a hard plastic cover over where the belts coils up? Mine has nothing covering the seat...

Those are some great ideas1!!
Thanks

LOL. I have no idea what AM stations we have? Sending my radio out monday for a $180 stock rebuild. He said it will take 5-6 weeks. So yesterday I drove my new hitchhiker and my wife to what I thought was supposed to be a small car show at an ice cream/hamburger joint. I got down there and not a cla...

What do you think?
