COMET CENTRAL

I'd be double checking that the new one fits properly/is the same but then ya whatever makes it work.

Boy that's a nice interior!! Would love a bench seat 4dr sedan for a daily.

Are you saying you forgot what you did to your car back in a previous life? I have guys asking me about cars I sold 25 yrs ago...

Well 25 years ago I remember, yesterday,,,,, uh leme think,,?
Happy to see a Borgenson install being detailed, good info.

First off WELCOME!!
If the trans is original to the car, a 64 it won't work with the new engine. The 302 comes with a 6 bolt belhousing bolt pattern and you will need a 65 or later small block trans behind it.
The C4 is a popular choice.

Sweet pic! I hope all those holes close up like you want.

Jim substitute the word Mustang with Comet and the T-shirt would be correct, in my world.

One goal this winter was to do bearings in the supercharger but once I had it tore down I realized it was too scratched up to warrant the expenditure. I have another one that I believe is marginally better so I installed it. I'm on a SC Tbird forum to keep up with motor knowledge and found a used on...

I'm sure the aftermarket AC makers will be able to help you, afterall they make AC for places like Vegas.
Probably have a tech/question line.

Thanks Jim,, oh there are days!

Someone else thought they needed spacing.
I'm sure they were just used to space, move them.
I don't have anything between the fender and it's mounting surfaces but certainly won't hurt.

it looks great Fred ! so I take it you recovered pretty well from the surgery?

Pretty good. Took a little longer to come around than the left hand but probably tried to use it too soon slowing recoup.

Back together again! Did a bit more aluminum polishing, changed the injector orings and the rubber fuel lines, bearings and brushes in the alternator and changed out the supercharger. I'd been chasing a bearing noise and being as the alt and charger are 1989 figured to start there. The alt bearing w...

Only problem I see is traction!

(The total square inches of rubber contacting the pavement x the levered weight available ) x potential available HP = smoke

Don't know about the tag but pretty sure the doors interchange.
Years ago I had a '63 4dr sedan Comet and put a Falcon right rear door on it.
