what did you do to your comet today?
Re: what did you do to your comet today?
i got started on my 428 today.its weird tearing into a engine that runs great and has no issues.but i have some alu heads,intake,roller rockers,and some new coated headers to go back on.i pulled the valve covers,carb,rockerarms,and intake off today.i still like unbolting the old headers and taking off the old cj heads,before i can put the new stuff back on.i have to remove a dowel pin from the top of the block on the intake mounting surface.my old pi intake has a hole for this dowel to line up in,but my new rpm intake has no hole for this dowel so i will have to remove it.

Right on Frye!! Tough to rip into something that runs good BUT faster is always better!! Well, most of the time! From your posts, you've waited some time to do this...so take your time & enjoy the s*** out of it!!
When you're done, go stomp it down a backroad...ALL the smile ya need!

well,i got my headers and heads off. i got the dowel out with a set of vicegrips and a flat scerwdriver.i need to clean everything up in the morning and hopefully i can have it back together and running by sunday.im not as young as i used to be.i have to pace myself now.what used to be a one day job,now takes a week.yes i had to study on it for a few weeks before i decided to do it.faster is better,with a name like ROCKET,im sure you agree.

i got my new headers in place.im ready to put the new heads and intake on.im going to let my son torque my heads and intake.he is showing some interest in it lately.he also installed my fuel cell and mounted my battery in the trunk,so i thought i would let him help out on some of the high performance stuff too.
