COMET CENTRAL

Looking real good! Are you sure having all the carbs open at the same time will not flood the engine with fuel? I had a Ford tri power with Holley carbs on my ‘71 Comet GT, 302, mild cam, headers, 4 speed, I set it up with progressive linkage and it worked perfectly. I think having them set up to op...

A/FX, I sure wasn't picking on you. The car may be worth the money to someone with the skills and the desire to make improvements to the Cyclone. Keep posting! I did not take your comments as being picked on, no worries. When I see a Comet for sale or auction I instinctually think it needs to be po...

I just see the adds and post what I think might interest other forum members, the condition of the cars is beyond my control. Now that I looked at the pictures of this offering I see many items that are in need of attention. The rusty floor and exhaust headers are a real attraction getter, the engin...

Another one of my favorites, this time it’s a convertible Parklane. If I was younger, had unlimited funds, and was in need of a project this would be near the top of my list. Not only is it a rare body style but it is loaded with all the desirable options except factory air, it has power windows, se...

I took a quick look at some of the pictures, saw some holes and patches in the floor.
It says the engine has been replaced but did not say if it was a newer 289 or a 5 bolt unit.

I did a complete rewiring of everything under the hood and inside the dash on my '64 Comet. The only original wiring left is to the headlights and parking lights/turn signals since that was still working OK. I have tons of experience with Comet wiring now. Some PO replaced the generator with a GM a...

AfxJim where the axle /leafspring ubolts should be,what ever it is,,This is the thing I've never seen. maybe a lowering kit? any idea what it is? :? https://i.postimg.cc/NjTr8p6g/Comet-110-15447-scaled.jpg It’s a floater system. It is designed to locate the housing on the springs but allow the hous...

It would help if you would include the details of the car….
Year, make, model, engine, etc.

Have you tried Moser Engineering in Portland Indiana? https://www.moserengineering.com/ When I built the Winter’s 9” I calculated the overall width needed to fit the tires under the car, built the axle tubes to length then called Moser. I was going to Portland for a vintage scooter event so I stoppe...

Jim, I've noticed that a lot of the hardware on your car is golden color. Did you have them anodized? Jim Jim, I wanted something a little different so all the brackets, nuts, bolts, etc. throughout the car have been plated in “yellow” zinc. When I did the car in the 1970’s I chrome plated everythi...

Here is how I did the linkage on my Cyclone, the progressive linkage is reproduction, the accelerator cable is from a Fairmont. I fabricated the fuel log.

You can't really see the Comet's in detail, but I still think it is a cool picture. "1964 COMET" in big letters on the dealership window. Is that a Tiger out front in the street? Probably an Alpine. https://i.postimg.cc/T2NTK6rY/Duffield-Lincoln-Mercury-Long-Beach-CA-1964.png Very cool! What a line...

I bet the dash sounds a lot better than it looks. what color is the dash butterscotch? :x But I dont think I've never seen the way the rearend is mounted before, the link mounts welded to the housing would have to go if I had it. maybe panhard bars. not sure what the black thing is mounted to the r...

You definitely need to determine if it is fuel or an ignition issue, otherwise you are shooting at a moving target. Rig up a fuel line to a gas can or similar and bypass the stock tank and lines. ( could be a rubber line collapsing) I am not familiar with MSD systems, maybe someone else can jump in ...
