Re: ‘64 Falcon Track Project
Looks like a blast! But, Joe! No over-the-shoulder vids this time?!? :cry: Jim Thanks Jim! No GoPro video this time. Got lazy. Im planning on some upgrades this summer. Im considering a set of AFR heads with a roller cam and maybe another 1 inch lower. If that happens then I will for sure have some...

No just his one. It’s a HP 650 double pumper.

Re: ‘64 Falcon Track Project
Next event is in October. I’d like to figure out the fueling issue. Maybe add an electric pump at the tank to boost the fuel to the mechanical pump? There’s “road race” floats, jet extensions and spring loaded needle/seats to think about. Im not sure if it’s on the pump side or a carb issue. I think...

Re: ‘64 Falcon Track Project
Couple of vids. My buddy Omar was out there taking vids of the action. https://youtu.be/ykidiEZlEWo?si=uZ7FKt3Fx_huDZQE https://youtu.be/SF75N9y3-6A?si=rRJ6rAEdvflqL2tz I added a 1 1/8 inch sway bar but I’m still lifting the right rear wheel off the track in that hard right hander in the first vid. ...

Re: ‘64 Falcon Track Project
Another track event in the books for the Falcon. 2 days, maybe 8 twenty-minute sessions. 80 laps or so? Not sure maybe I should write all this stuff down. Car ran amazing as always. Had to fatten up the jets on both sides to stay around 12.5 on the AFR gauge. Ran great with the adjustment. I went a ...

That’s a Mustang tag number. Strange it has the lever for a cable throttle.Sugarmaker wrote: ↑Sun Feb 11, 2024 8:49 pmFolks<

We took the Comet for several short jaunts today as roads were dry.
Those trunk panels look very good!

Re: 1965 Comet Caliente (little red)
What’s the number on the carb? I did a little poking around and it looks like your carb might be for a full size Ford with a throttle cable instead of linkage (the cable connected to that ball stud you’re not using). On those the kick down rod was attached directly to the carb, whereas a Comet had t...

Re: 1965 Comet Caliente (little red)
Your Comet looks great! Congrats on first drive! Ive also noticed that when I transition from a modern car to my Comet or Falcon I think “what the hell is wrong with this thing!??” But after driving it awhile all is well. It’s just old with slow steering and ancient suspension design and geometry. I...

Re: New Member - ‘63 S-22 Convertible
Hi all, I’m glad to find this forum and have owned my ‘63 S-22 convertible for about 9 years. I bought it site unseen off of eBay. I delivered it to my wife’s graduate school graduation and surprised her with it. Instead of flying home (we were not living near her school at that time), we drove it ...

Re: 1965 Comet Caliente (little red)
Great looking Comet! Bummer about the console lid emblem. They were reproduced awhile back and like most everything else Comet specific they went away. I should have bought 20 of them :roll: I think your best bet is keep an eye on EBay, a nice used one may pop up. I just did a pretty thorough search...
