COMET CENTRAL

YIKES!! Glad you're ok, hope she gets fixed up quick!!

I have the exact same problem. I've just lowered my float a fuzz and will post later this evening if it solves my problem!!!

Yes, the kickdown works.

65 Comet, 200-6, C4 transmission. At full throttle, the trans is upshifting at about 3,200 rpm. How can I make it shift higher, at say 4,500 rpm???

I have a 65 Comet with a C4 trans and a 200 6, want to put a 302 in it, will that trans hold up or should I look for a C5 or C6? Talking less than 300 HP.

A little update:

Problem isolated to the enrichment valve sticking when the carb gets hot. Working on a fix, probably just soaking it in carb cleaner over the weekend and exercising it with lube. Thanks for the info guys!!

Much appreciated, not sure how much shipping would be from Missouri. I can probably find one locally if I look. What years/model cars am I looking for to get the dizzy?

Has the water plate under the carb, just bypassed it this evening so unsure if it fixed anything yet. Only vacuum leak is at the throttle shaft but ive seen worse. The dizzy I have is vacuum advance only, no mechanical advance so disconnecting it would be a bad idea.

Here's the story. 65 Comet with the 200-6, stock carb and dizzy. Car is new to me so im not sure how long this has been a problem. It runs pretty good when cold, but once ot gets hot, say above 180°, it will idle but stall immediately upon presding the throttle. If I pump the throttle, I can drive i...

That's kinda what I figured, thanks for the input!

Well yea, I was just hoping there was an easy way, like all the 6 cyl. autos had 9" brakes or something like that.

Is there an easy way to tell if I have 9" or 10" brakes before I take them apart? I wanted to order up all the parts and didn't want to have to guess. Mine is a 65 404 4-door with a 200-6 and a C4.

It will be a matte clear for sure! I will keep you guys updated on my progress

It works!! Thank you Groover!

That's odd, when I clicked the upload button it opened up my file browser. I will give it a shot, thank you!
