Re: Stumped - 63 comet 302 Accelerator linkage
Thank you all... I should be able to figure out something from the choices...
It always exciting... Almost ready to fire it up with no drive shaft...
Hope all goes well... Engine has not run in 14 years...

Stumped - 63 comet 302 Accelerator linkage
Anyone know of an easy solution for 63 Comet gas peddle linkage to Edelbrock carb on 302/347.
I must be overlooking the obvious or already produced solution.
I see lots of home made stuff or modified linkage and of course I could buy a Lokar product but would like something more original.

Re: 1963 Comet 8" Differential choices
Yes, I am changing the entire rear and springs, No modification other the DS is usually needed. Sorry what does DS refer too. I have in mind a 5 lug and will change center sections and bearing plus axels. Thanks for the info... I still have to measure mine to verify the width and other dimensions. A...

Re: 1963 S22 V8 347 engine/trans swap questions...
Since my last question I learned my inline 6 conversion has a 7" rear end. My friend told me this would probably not get me out of the driveway is I was lucky... So my next question is what rear ratio rear gears do you guy have and are you happy with it. I have T5 trans and 347 with a cam rating 180...
