COMET CENTRAL

both my 65's had different size shackle bushings than a mustang .they were right at 1'' O.D. whereas stang was about 1.5'' or something . & my car came with the larger size in the spring eye & the smaller 1'' thru the frame. but when I took the springs off my parts car it had the smaller 1'' bushing...

That's a good idea on the seat tracks!

Welcome on!

A/FX, I did ask about the headlight covers. I could go either way on them My friend John says they need to go. If I get through this weekend I may add that little project to the list to remove them and set them aside for a while. It's like the fender skirts I got with the the car. Not really planni...

I'd have to get a pic with the lights off,,a pic at night with lights on ,(on a full moon night 8) ) & study all 3 pics before I could make my mind up. I have been looking for some of those that I had & haven't found them them yet. didnt think I'd ever need them... :roll: the pic of it in the garage...

Maybe in the future I should scrutinize the adds before I post them.

Awe come on ,,, you know we like to that. at least leave some for us to pick at.

here ya go; https://www.mercurystuff.com/1965-comet-vehicle-identification.html says 3 sp auto A code engine is 289 4bbl - 225hp Is it factory power steering? good that you have the skinny aftermarket booster but I think you will probably need a new MC for disc,I think they are different from drum t...

Sometimes we forget what Shelby did with early Mustang which is almost the same as 65 Comet. Think I'd put the handling of a GT 350 up against anything with a M2 front suspension,,,,, wasn't that originally put in a Pinto!? exactly Fred! that's how Roy said it to me, won more races than most any ot...

If that tci kit was a Mustang ii kit IMO would not be your best choice.If you need room for a big block maybe . You can bolt on mustang performance parts cheaper & can probably do most of it yourself. & for less than what you were quoted you could build a frontend built for racing which would be gre...

Welcome!! Kind of a fluke that I found that number. back before Christmas Joe Travers, a good member on here thanked me for setting him up with Russ because he had got a few hard to find things for his 63, the first was a headlight switch bezel nut. I ask another buddy on FB & he told me about Russ ...

You might try Russ falcon parts 626 969 8157 , I think he is out west ,cali maybe.

Thanks that helps. It has power drum brakes on all 4 corners at the moment. I definitely will be looking to do a front disc conversion on it. I will for sure check out a thicker sway bar up front. With your 4 link are you running a rear sway bar? They removed mine when installing the rear setup. I ...

light looks great now! here is a link to an article by Dick Harrington about the f-150 2 speed w/delay upgrade in case you get tired of the slow one speed factory wiper motor; https://online.fliphtml5.com/wtdj/qtqr/#p=1 also during this thread...; https://www.cometcentral.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1...

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...

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. Lots of guys switch to V8s,so if you stay with the 6 you might find a...
