Re: 1965 Comet Caliente (little red)
.........This miss seems to get a little worse as the engine gets warmer. Trying to change one thing at a time to see if I can find the issue with the engine miss. Could the older yellow top coil be having issues when warm?? ......... Yes. I would definitely replace the coil. They are not much mone...

Re: Lou's 65 Comet Build
Been trying to finish up the cooling system, and some detail stuff on engine. Went back and forth on shrouds. Finally ended up getting the original metal type, with the appropriate brackets. When I test fitted everything there was a gap between the shroud and rad at the top that I wasn't happy with....

Ford Nationals @ Carlisle is couple weeks away. There will be a lot of toploader's for sale, 9" stuff, and more. Little bit of a drive for you...

Re: Lou's 65 Comet Build
I'm surprised you didn't cover the whole lanyard,,,or at least up past the part that looks to be rubbing on the hood trim. :? btw, did you use sealer in the windshield rubber? if so in each of the prior attempts ? thinking I may set it in dry at first just to see if the bottom will have any trouble...

Re: Lou's 65 Comet Build
It all looks great, Lou! 8) Very creative use of heat shrink. I've only used it for electrical projects, but it can obviously be used for lots of stuff if you think outside the box. :lol: Jim Thanks Jim. Yea once you think of heat shrink as a universal covering it opens up many uses. Started with t...

Re: Lou's 65 Comet Build
Thanks Lee. I bought the better heat shrink so I hope it holds up. But don't really know for sure. But it is easier than painting and I don't think it will chip like paint does.

Re: Lou's 65 Comet Build
Looking good Lou! It’s the little details that make a difference. When I was building my Comet I wanted to keep the heater but the rubber hoses interfered with the valve cover. I decided to move the hose tubing location, I soldered copper tubing to the core and moved the holes in the firewall. I us...

Re: Lou's 65 Comet Build
Some more detail stuff for engine. Wasn't happy with how long the oil dip stick stuck up so I cut 5" out of it. https://i.postimg.cc/6QFGxC1T/IMG-8005.jpg Still thinking of blacking it out,,, but for now leave it chrome. Bent up the fuel line from pump to carb, used 3/8 steel tubing https://i.postim...

Re: Lou's 65 Comet Build
More little stuff. Really want the engine compartment to look simple, minimalistic. Which involves making things blend in instead of sticking out. Finally got the right fan spacer for my setup, but it is open and you can see the mounting bolts shaft. https://i.postimg.cc/cLjrN9yN/IMG-7982.jpg Was ju...
