Re: 65 Gage Bezel

The bezel looks amazing. I am not fluent on ‘65 Comets but for some reason I believe they are the same as ‘65-‘66 Mustang. If that is true you have a very large audience that would be in interested the six gauge panel. Nice work! Jim they are similar but mustang bezel has both sides rounded where c...

Re: 1965 Comet Caliente (little red)

The front of the accelerator pump could possibly be warped. the eyes of the screw holes on the corners are weaker & can get bowed in & cause a leak. you can lay it on a flat hard surface & tap it back flat & /or lay sandpaper on that flat hard surface & rub the pump cover on it to true it up. also a...

Re: 260 Tripower

Can’t read the whole thread guess I will finally have to get a Facebook account. It's a video. I wasn't sure if people who weren't on FB could see it or not. He was talking about a set of 3 2v's that came in said to be running too rich ,he noticed they had non original bowls on the end carbs at fir...

Re: 1965 Comet Caliente (little red)

The adjusting handle is 3 inches out compared to what it was. Other than that I think this will work?? I can modify the length of the adjuster handel if necessary? https://i.postimg.cc/8PX2gHzJ/IMG_20240325_131130537.jpg You could bend it straight up,right at the bend that would put it back 2-3 inc...

Re: New build 62 Comet

I was going to ask if you were upgrading to 65 parts like mentioned above, I dont think all of 62 stuff is available, so if you need most all of it the 65 stuff would be cheaper but you would need to anti up for a set a spindles & probably would want an 8'' rear so you have 5 lug front & back. then ...

Re: 1965 Comet Caliente (little red)

Yeah Jake at falconcomet interiors makes new seat covers & he is highly rated but I heard it takes a while to get them. I had mine back 5'' at first, that might be when I remembered seeing the adapters stick out . Had about 1'' between front seat and back seat :lol: . I moved them up to 3'' back, st...

Re: Replace power brake booster

Are you saying I cant get one that is like the original? I do understand the upgrade to a dual system, but I need to wait at this time. So my option is remove the booster or replace what I have with an exact size unit. I have to imagine that there is at least one ford unit that will fit. maybe ther...

Re: Replace power brake booster

Yea 20 sounds about right to me. I dont think you can get an original booster. ''ABS PowerBrake'' is the name of a company that makes a thin one with a dual reservoir MC (front & back brakes) that is a popular upgrade. the dual reservoir is a lot safer than the factory single bowl MC. if you develop...

I did try the reworked seat brackets and they are good except for the handle sticking out about 3 inches in front of the seat!
will the angle adapters also stick out from under the seat when you have it slid all way back? My flat ones do but they're down just about flush in the rug.

Re: Dan's 65 Cyclone project !

Dan the store bought toe boards were a big let down for me. they were over 100 each shipped back then, & even higher now & were pretty simple & needed work after you get them. the corners near the hump are spliced 3-4'' just as you would if you made them & need welded up there. & one of mine was on ...

Re: 65 comet polyurethane bushing kit

Daydreaming huh,,,that's how I ended up with sliders from speedway. they were for a mopar & were close to same size ,just a little smaller than the stock leafspring eyes, but I made some spacers from SS to fill the gap . that was before I daydreamed my self into split mono leafspings. :roll: :wink:
