COMET CENTRAL

Thanks pops! I ll try to track them down, ive got a set f hookers now, and i had to bend them quite a bit to get them To work, but thers no way theyll ever clear the bottom plate of the scattershield wich i had to leave off. So id like to finally get around to finishing the car off 100%, and thats o...

Does anybody know what the going rate is to have a custom set of headers made for a small block in a 64 might be?
Thanks
Mike

This motor is from the silver car and the only origin...

well as far as the hipo option goes, i think what your refering to was a tsb using the D code, but ive never heard of any comets actually using that. Both mine just had a K which in itself is normally just a standard 289 4v. Also ive seen one of the original africa ralley cars that was also a K And ...

Awesome build!! Do you have any horsepower estimates? That engine is a work of art worthy of a museun!

The grey silver looks awesome on these cars. Mine is anniversary silver with black interior, which is original for the car, but ive always regretted not switching to ted interior wich i almost did. That thin trim piece under the trunk will be atough one to find, try craig in santa rosa he may have t...

Simpson also sells mounting hardware pretty reasonable as i recall, with the swivels on the base. I also put an original front set in the rear of mine. When i had my 65 cyclone i bought a set of crow lap belts and cut the tags off of them, and they were a dead ringer for 65 shelby belts. This was ab...

Yeah, theres not tpp many left, where did you get the production number? Ive heard many people say many diferent numbers, but never actually sen anything published

I agree with Pop, ive never felt any gains by going to 302 vs 289, however i fell that the 289 is a better balanced motor and more "sporty" as it seems to be better suited to high rpm. In the end what do you plan on doing with it? As in what rpm range are you shooting for?

Well for engine they have a hipo 289 engine same as a fairlane with a differen carb, distributor, and alternator woth a cast iron bracket. The distributor is a hipo transistorized unot with a comet only part number on it The tranny is a toploader close ratio, and im not sure about the linkage. Ive o...

Well for one i have part of the build sheet that you can make out the long hand print on the bottom enough, but moreover as i found it untouched with all the hipo stuff intact except for the intake, and years of dirt caked on it im positive, the silver one i cant prove anything as i dont have the bu...

This is my other hipo that hasnt run since 2005, and im hopeing to fire up in the next week if i can

Well its not really in the makeing yet, ive hd it for years and wont be starting on it anytime soon as i need to get my other hipo going first. In any case it is comlpete, the only thing it was missing was the intake carb aircleaner and tach, which i have aquired all but the tach.
