Re: 1964 Comet Ute
bit of an update on the Ute, I have been chasing a few bugs with it fixing little things, it had a temp problem which ended up being head gaskets, I had the engine out to fix that & only just put it back in recently, I finally got it tuned yesterday, I was surprised, I knew it went well, but now I know why, it made 418.8 HP at the wheels & close to 600 ft lbs torque, on 15 lbs boost, not bad for a little 331 made up from bits & pieces & used bits, John

Fred, its the most docile car to drive, just like a stocker, anyone could drive it, but push it past half throttle & it makes boost & then it revs real quick, its great on a trip on the highway too, good fuel economy & quiet John
