Re: Speedometer Cable Too Short

Thanks for the fast replies. I ordered a replacement that will ship same day. I swear this 202 is driving me crazy. Seems like every step I take forward I take two steps back. Started as a 202 170CI auto and the wife wanted a manual so I had a 68 Mustang 200 CI and some old falcon six cylinder parts...

Re: 200 six manual transmission choice

I have a top loader 4 speed and a 5 bolt bell housing on a built 289 I was saving for another project. Will the 5 bolt bell housing bolt up to the dual bolt pattern 200 ?

Re: 200 six manual transmission choice

Great information, thanks. Now all I need to do is find a good top loader 3 or 4 speed that will fit, If none are available I may just stick a C4 back in it. I have already installed the pedals, Z bar, new non auto radiator, new Hurst 3 speed shifter, removed the auto shift collar etc but I could go...

Re: what did you do to your comet today?

202 off the lift for now but looking for a manual transmission, bell housing, clutch, pressure plate, flywheel and throw out bearing and possibly a pilot bearing as well. Converting from an automatic to a standard. Wife’s idea, not mine.

200 six manual transmission choice

I installed a 200 CI 6 from a 68 Mustang in my 202 Comet. The 202 was an automatic. I have installed the Z bar and pedals so I can install a standard transmission. What transmission would best fit and work? I have a 3 speed manual from a 65 Falcon but I think it may need an overhaul. I also have a 4...

64 202 Sedan rear window trim

Found some window trim from a 64 and 65 Falcon sedan, not sure if they will fit my 64 Comet 202 sedan. The company that sells the rear window glass says body codes 62A, 62B, and 62C are all the same as are the 64-65 Falcon 4 door sedans. Will the trim for these models interchange? Any help would be ...

Re: Comet Man

Mine are two rights and two lefts, the Mercury Man is facing forward on all wheels. I think he can get some aluminum caps pre made that have a flat surface for the face. I believe he told me $130.00 shipped. If he wants I’ll be glad to put you in touch with him. I’ll email today and let you know. Ri...
