Re: 1965 Comet Caliente (little red)

they are one speed wipers. if yours will go left too it probably has the little delay knob like mine had. it was intermittent wipers, they didnt last long, poor design. so when they fail you have same speed both ways. when they did work properly to the left was a delay of the same one speed. some of...

Re: Project save the Comet

Welcome to comet central! all depends on what you want from the car . if just to cruise around the 6 will be the easiest. it's always easier to put them back like they were. problems dont snowball like when you make major changes.

If I drive it every 2-3 days it'll bust just about...

Re: 1963 Comet Custom Build Thread

My 65 speaker is still in the dash. I am getting ready to remove everything from under the dash . Do you need the speaker or brackets or AM radio.
Take pics of under there to show us if you dont mind.especially any rubber bummers. I remember some on the feet of the cover but may be more?
