221 or 260

I have a V8 that I thought was a 260, but have been told it may be a 221. It has the oil fill timing cover as well as the timing indicator on the drivers side. However, there is a small solid harmonic balancer (pulley adapter I think ford called it). It does not have the rubber outer ring with timin...

2spd automatic won't shift to 2nd

I have a 63 contact 4dr with a 170 and 2spd automatic. It goes into first, and reverse, but won't shift up to 2nd. I have checked the kick down and it is free I replaced the vacuum actuator but it still won't shift up. I changed fluid and dropped the pan. It looked clean. I've had it up to 40 plus m...

62 front drum brakes

Does somebody have a picture of the front brakes on a 16 4 lug comet. I am working on a barn find for a friend, an the passenger side had absolutely nothing in there. The drivers side appeared intact, but is different looking than my 63. There were no adjustment lever or cable. I was told that some ...

Re: Road draft tube hole

After taking a second look, the hose I thought went to the carb is actually just the heater hose that runs near the carb. I am building a plate to put a PCV valve over the place where the draft tube should be. And am thinking about just drilling a hole in the air cleaner attaching a nipple and runni...

Road draft tube hole

I have a hole on the drivers front side of my 170s block. It appears to have been for a road draft tube. It has 2 bolt holes, and one large hole, but there is no evidence (on carb/spacer) that there ever was one installed there. Nor is there a PCV valve anywhere. Can I just cover, there is a hose on...

62 /63 fender swap

Was wondering if a 62 and 63 have the same fenders. Mine (63s) are ok, but I might have access to a set of 62s

Re: 63 comet build or part it out

I think your right Matt I will give it a shot snd see how it turns out only payed 350 for the car. It's really straight. Only missing the front right stainless trim on front fender. It came with a nice extra grille. Floors are solid. And I also have a 5 lug front end off a 65 I can swap into it. May...

63 comet build or part it out

I just purchased another 63 comet 4dr. The problem is I didn't crawl under it till I was loading it. I noticed the passenger side strut bracket was hacked off the car. My question to you all is should I weld in a new one, or just part it out. I can weld a bit, but have never done big structural comp...

Re: 1963 hood emblem

These are a little difficult to find in nice condition. I may have a used one. I'll have to look. I actually had one made out of vinyl for my racecar! haha The other thing you have to watch is they made one with three pins and one with four pins. The tree pin one is for the trunk lid on other model...
