Comet Xmas list

Post by loman »

What's on your Comet Xmas list? I'm hoping my black Comet gets new braided steel transmission cooling lines bought, made, and installed.

On V8. cars I thought '65's were same as 'Stang, with 63.5-64 being larger OD...they're not? FFS...3 different rear eyes 'tween the cars??? :? :) :x :lol: :lol: :lol:

My Comet X-Mas list is the few (relatively) parts I need to get this SBF together!! :mrgreen:

Jh the moog rubber bushings listed for 65's say it is .94''. the aluminum bushings for the sliders are .954 . Which I believe could be pressed in to the leaf eyes. the slider are for 2 3/4'' wide springs but a couple big washers would fill the slack there.

Well, the paint wouldn't weigh too much, but it sure would slow Santa down, depending on how many coats ;)
