COMET CENTRAL

I have a 66 with a 390 and 4 speed. I want to put the borgenson power steering in. It calls for cutting 2 1/2 inches off of the bottom of the steering column. The engine is out so can I cut the steering column from the engine bay without removing it? Then pull the shaft out from the bottom, weld the...

I know this is old but any 66 front bumpers?

My 66 Comet has the driver side bumper pulled out a little on the bottom. Kind of like someone had a tow strap under it and pulled the bottom out a little. Took it to 2 shops and they said they couldn't do anything. Can't find one anywhere except for a fiberglass one. It's not that bad but it bother...

Looking for front grill trim pieces and possibly a front bumper.

Just went to take it for a drive and it wouldn't go in any gear. @##@!@$ Jack it up and get under it again......the clip came off of reverse lever. I can't stand those Hurst clips. Got it back on and it's fine. I'm all new to working this much on cars but I'm learning with all of you guys help.

I tried those adjustments that you suggested and it still ground. I pulled it got someone to put new gears in and it runs great now. Thanks for all your help. It's nice having that extra gear, i's really fun to drive. Ps I got good at pulling and installing the tranny!

Finally got the clutch, pressure plate and 4 speed in. It was a tranny I bought used and took a chance, well it shifts great except it grinds a little going into 3rd. WTF So I guess it is coming out again for a new 3rd gear synchro.

It's a '66 390 3 speed stock, I thought. Ran into a problem, went to put on the 11" pressure plate and the holes wouldn't line up on the fly wheel. I looked at the old PP and it's a 11 1/2" I ordered a new fly wheel, same amount of teeth, so I hope this all fits.

Thanks for the tips, I've never done this before but it's going pretty smooth so far. The biggest problem that I had was the top bolt on the starter, I had to get a 2' extension and go in through the front of the engine.

I have a 66 comet 390 4 speed could someone tell me the torque specs on the bellhousing and pressure plate? I found pressure plate 35 lbs and bellhousing 40-5- and trans to bell 37-42 lbs are these right/ Different places give you different numbers. Thanks.

I did find a 4 speed toploader for $800 I have everything out now for a new clutch and PP should have in in a few days.

Putting this picture incase someone searches for this.

Thank you I just ordered it. Is there a trick putting it on or easy to figure it out?

I have a 66 Comet with a 390 3 speed that I'm putting a 4 speed and clutch. I took the bellhousing off and put the new throw-out bearing in. How does that clutch fork stay in place. There is a raised bar in the bell where the fork rests but it's loose. There are two holes on the fork one on either s...

I have a 66 mercury comet 390 3 speed stick, I am changing it to a 4 speed. I got a rug-j trans with a c70 tail, what do I do for the speedometer gears?/ Also I'm going to change it to a 3.55 posi rear, I don't have that yet but soon. Also any suggestions on the rear? Thanks
