Thanks guys. I will try a bottle of heet and run it out of gas and refuel with non ethanol. Coil is new and im running a pertronix ignition. Hopefully that will fix my issue, its starting to warm up in middle Georgia.

Yes spacer and the edelbrock heat insulator gasket. Should I try running nonethanol gas?

So the other day Im driving around and it was a pretty warm day close to 90 degrees. comet is running close to 190 deg at the red light and cuts off. Got it fired back up and it was running not so great but made it back home. Every time I stopped I had to feather the gas to keep it running. I have a...

Sticking with the 8'' it is. Thanks for the input guys. Caveman I did. Talked with him last night, hopefully going to see him this weekend.

Does anyone know if a 9'' rear end from a 65 f100 will fit under my 67 comet? What all goes into that swap? Is it even worth the trouble to do it?

I am in Georgia

I did notice that parts of the fuel hose were dry rotting and getting brittle. Plan to change that out this weekend. I did noti...

Alright guys since I have been on here, we have tackled a couple of issues. Here is the current issue with the 67. It reeks of gas. I can smell it outside of the car and on the inside. I did an inspection under the car and no leaks. Where could this smell be coming from? It has this smell when it is...

Thanks Joe. Hopefully I will have some daylight after work to get it adjusted.

Thanks Pop no hurry. I got the carb on and the idle is extremely high. My memory has failed me and I can’t remember which adjustment screw is which. But I need to idle it down a good bit.
