COMET PERFORMANCE

Getting close to time again. I recently got a new job after almost 20-years...that’s been kicking my ass a little! Combine that with the kids sports, home improvements, and my needing a break after 4-years of late nights with the Comet... Yep, basically just drove it all summer... :lol: :lol: :lol: ...

Fark sake the progress looks fine!!! Heck, I’d tarp the shed & get a big ass heater!!

Probably a Granada-type spindle. As stated pics are a huge help. If there are any Foooooord part #’s on the spindles that’s good info also. In a nutshell, it doesn’t take that many parts to do it right...though you can use that many or more and do it WRONG!

What’s a dashpad? J/K!! Looks good!

AC would go (back) on first here too...even before carpet or arm rests!!!

x2...I’m pretty sure the ‘67-‘70 ‘Stang/Cougar stuff is all the same... Well, pitman arms anyway! :D :lol: Here’s one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1967-1968-1969-1970-Cougar-Mustang-V8-Power-Steering-Pitman-Arm-1-1-8-inch/263898263639?fits=Year%3A1967%7CModel%3AMustang&epid=1123912108&hash=item3d718ff0...

Love those years!! There was a ‘68 Cyclone at the last show I went to...man!! I stared at it for a loooong time. The comparatively huge engine compartment made me grit my teeth! Think about how much knuckle skin you could’ve saved!!!

I’ve heard to use anti-sieze also but man, that’d be pricey and I wouldn’t want to do it without Scuba gear... Gonna try the ATF thing on the nephews project!

Bed liner to coat the wheel...genius!! :D :lol: I’m shamelessly gonna steal that idea. Need something to start with as it starts getting cold! Your progress looks great!! Dunno if I mentioned before, but I would use the coated steel brake line for tight bends. The NiCopp stuff is great to work with ...

RH - 5-turn ‘64-‘65 Comet/Falcon boxes are relatively easy to find find. The 63.5-64 V8 boxes used a 1-1/8 sector shaft, 65 V8 used 1-inch. All 6-cyl were 1-inch sector. If you’re replacing a 1-inch sector gives you more available options (convert to ‘65 steering, quick steer parts, etc.). 4-turn bo...

There will usually be additional stuff stamped on the top. Yank rocker cover...pics are best!!

From the what I’ve seen the sector shaft is the same except for the threaded end (in same ratio as noted) so it should work.

Worry not about what the inside looks like! Mounting of "all cylinders" looks mighty fine!!

Shucks, you're halfway to an export brace (like Johno linked to)! They're a better part IMO! Is that really a single pot plastic master cylinder?!?!? Man! FYI that those (any single circuit) master cylinders are almost always replaced with dual circuit designs for safety.
