COMET CENTRAL

Eric, you can get a zbar from Falcon Parts. You can get a upper and lower clutch rod from Melvins. The engine side and frame mount pivots as well. You will need a 4 speed clutch and pedal set up. Their is a restored setup on eBay for $200, I have seen unrestored go for $150. I have a 5 bolt and 6 bo...

Looked at my Comet and my Fairlane to see what I am missing. Did a couple of measurements. The Fairlane UCA is longer and eider than the Comet. Tha Fairlane spring is over six inches wide and the Comet spring is just over 5 inches. The Comet spring sits on a spring perch and the fairlane sits right ...

Fairlane stuff won't work. Like I said I am interested in some Fairlane parts. Willing to swap, trade or buy what I need for the comet parts. Let me know and I'll tell you what I need. Thanks Jim

Matt, you have to think it all the way through. The weight difference of a v8 c4 swap. Smaller brakes, smaller springs different driveshaft, 7.5 rearend.

Matt, the only part you can use from the front end are the spindles. The upper and lower control arm are totally different. I think the rearend is a little wider than the Comet. I have a correct comet rearend housing and axles. I have a brand new set of Moog lower control arms for the Comet. I am in...

Here's the guys number. 517-529-4602 looks like a Michigan area code. His name is Dick wife is Pat. Jim

The biggest and most obvious difference is the 64 is way cooler than the 65. Jim

Finally picked up my motor today. I put it off until I finished the Fairlane as it didn't need that much work. I needed a car to drive this summer. I think it came out real nice. This is motivation to get the Caliente done this year. I started this project in June 09. Man time goes by fast. Here's a...

Thanks guys. I happy with the way it's coming along. Pop I agree about the valve covers. I am looking at the aluminum Powered By Ford taller valve covers. I think they came on the 80's 5.0 's. I'm looking for a pic. jim

Been working on my other car all winter inbetween plowing. Got the rebuilt 289/331 in and I rebuilt the toploader. Did a 4 speed conversion I also rebuilt the tri power, took a month. Now I have to get the linkage hooked up and get the motor broken in. Here's some pics. I got my Comet in the pic to ...

I bought these a few years ago on ebay. Then I ran into the guy at Carlisle, he had a booth. He doesn't actually do the work, he buys cores and sends them out. When I talked to him he said he would do exchange if you had a nice cores. I also got my headlight buckets from him. whoever he sends them t...

I am in need of an new aluminum water pump and manual brake single bowl m/c. Wondering what you guys have used or any recomendations on different brands. Thanks, Jim

I paid $280 for a really clean tank last year. I think it was $70 for shipping and a couple hours of cleaning the factory undercoating off the bottom of tank and then painting it. I'm probably into it for $400. $300 seams like a fair price. Looks like he has a limited number off tanks available. Jim

Just saw these on eBay. eBay item # 231090350015. Reproduction 64/65 Comet gas tanks. Jim
