Re: Joe's '63 1/2 Tinkering Thread
Joe it's good to have you back posting! :D My old beater daily driver has been down so I've been driving my 76 as a daily for a month or two,except for rainy days. It feels good to have some extra power & to hear a good sounding V8 on a daily basis for a change, it just puts you in a different state...

Re: 1965 Comet Caliente (little red)
Keep in mind the inner back seat mounts had a spacer from the factory. I think they were somewhere around an inch thick maybe a little more.

Re: 65 Gage Bezel
2gr8kids did you notice that the od of the rings around the gauges were different sizes? Lol . be cool if you keep all of that like the factory ones so the camera case inserts for cyclones & woodgrain inserts for calientes would still fit.

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...

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...

Re: 1965 Comet Caliente (little red)
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.Sugarmaker wrote: ↑Mon Mar 25, 2024 9:48 pm
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!
