COMET CENTRAL

Has there been any manuals or info on deciphering a buck tag . I know some of it and some of it is elusive .
Edit better pic

To clarify not car , but the cam in engine . I replaced with a comp pro magnum , didn't read lash adjustment and did the ole school 3/4 turn pre load . To say valve train was very noisy i got about 2 weeks out of it . Parked when oil pressure started dropping so i hope to save it .

Cool car but a bit pricey, IMO. Restoring it is more expensive than Mustang. Joe Missed a 63 2dr post 289 4spd $8500 very very claen . Guy was selling it , he bought for son . Son was messing up , momma (wife) said i had to many cars now lol . I promised i would sell one she said yeah right . But j...

Yeah use similar at work before for some apps , found big heavy suspension stops for 18 bucks and bolt on . Since im waiting on the front power source , may have a set of those cal tracs on .

They are about 2 inches from contact so it allows a lot of wrap , I've been thinking of some type of larger bumper to help . Something like a window stop modified to work so there is only about a half inch clearance .

Johno , i can see they would prevent rear end wrap , mine to has the original leafs , I definitely like the design .

Oh im also interested in the cal trak system , i have slappers that still allowed hop .

Great thread with a lot of info . Vent box does look familiar to me to . I have a 67 Mustang but i dont remember if that style was in the gen 1 , ill have to look .

I see what you did, there Super Duty?
I give the early '60s Ponchos their due. They're okay in my book.

Spun the girl at 6200 taking out a cam lobe , most likely caused by spring bind on the stock 65 heads , springs are green in color . . New cam and lifters and multiple oil changes i couldn't save the bearings , started loosing oil pressure . Actually found small pieces of it on oil pan . So made a d...
