COMET CENTRAL

very early built 65 cyclones used the same larger diameter tachometer as the 1964 cyclone if it was NOT equipped with optional Rally pack. later built 65 cyclones used smaller diameter tachometer like the one used with rally pack.

should work fine as long as you use the falcon fuel tank sender as the falcon is a 16 gal tank and comet had a 20 gal tank.

glad i was able to help you out. you can get good info from this site.

I have a problem with the gas gague working in my 64 calinete i recently bought..... TOday i pulled the gas tank and installed a new sending unit.. I then added some gas to the tank after reassembly... Still i get no reading on the gauge... Not sure could it be a problem with gas gauge in the dash....

you cannot hook into your PCV line you need to hook into a direct vacume source on intake manifold. a PCV valve is a controlled vacume leak. is this a performance engine ? i have a built 289 with a healthy cam that pulls only 11-12in at idle. at 50mph it will pull approx 19.5in of vacume.

no its not the same falcon had 2 headlamps comets have 4 headlamps. try your your local napa auto parts stores it may still
be available.

i would go stroker small block 347 ? make it a BFX clone less weight over the nose would be a great benefit just my opinion.

ok just about ready to fire new motor in my cyclone that i have a new crane fireball XR-I ignition in. instructions says i need a coil with 3 to 4 ohms resistance between - & + terminals the crane coil i have only has 1.4ohms now they say to use ballast resistor included with coil but i do not want ...

send it to rodes restoration. roger does super good work. i just sent him my 1965 cyclone steering gear he had it back to me in a week. any of my ford steering issues go to him.

your sending unit is more than likely going bad they do have reproductions of the comet sending unit. but with everything else reproduction quality not as good as oem. i have a N.O.S fuel tank sender for 1965 comet. let me know if you are in need. you can email me direct at b.flood@myactv.net thanks...

why not use hooker super competition headers ? i have seen them on two different 65 cyclones and they fit fine.

yes i am the one who located the source for the wiring. he sold them to me at cost for providing the source.

roy thanks for the reply i would do this but wiring is brittle i guess i am looking for a company who can redo the harness or manufacture a new one with the oem correct style connectors.

ok people i pulled motor out of my 65 cyclone and decided to freshen up engine compartment all wiring in engine compartment is intact and functioning properly but is stiff and brittle i think its an accident waiting to happen. i see there are NO reproduction harnesses avail for 1965 cyclone. is ther...

a cheaper alternative is to send it to KP CARBS in new york he does first class work. and yes by all means keep the autolite ! thats what i am going to run on my new "289"
