Re: poboyjos ride

I wanted to get all this funky under dash labor done first but it got down to me needing to know wher...

Re: 1965 Comet Caliente (little red)
Some things I would try. 1) make sure accel pump is squirting as soon as throttle lever is moved, is it a strong squirt? 2) do a compression test, pull all 8 plugs and block throttle open for the compression test. 3) check for play in timing gear/chain, remove dist cap, take breaker bar turn balance...

Re: 1965 Comet Caliente (little red)
Jim, Here is a picture of my carb it has a lever on the accelerator pump that comes in contact with the pump. So I don't think the added cap will work?? Not a great picture: https://i.postimg.cc/yxVvkZ9b/IMG-20240329-203422155-HDR-2.jpg You can get the same result by bending the small rod that runs...

Re: Dan's 65 Cyclone project !
Finally getting started. Plan is to get the body stripped down and cleaned up first, of course. Like my last project, I'll stitch all the body seams just in case and replace the floor. At that point, I'll probably go to a rotisserie for the rest of the rust repair. Biggest surprise thus far is the ...

Re: Has anyone used a Classic Update Wire Kit
Much appreciated! Could you have mounted that to the firewall or were there no ideal spots for that unit? I’ve seen some guys put it in the glove box simply for ease of access. I think I’d like to keep my glove box functional and put secure that under the dash or firewall, if possible. I have used ...

Re: Lou's 65 Comet Build
For noise. The different gaps help keep fan noise down.Jims65cyclone wrote: ↑Wed Nov 01, 2023 4:56 pmThis is an aside, but what was the purpose of the non-symmetrical placement of the blades on those fans? Seems like it would throw the balance out of whack.

Re: Root's 64 Cyclone Build
When i mocked if up the the other day with the suspension pretty much neutral the bar was within 1/8” of the strut rod. Itjust seems wrong. If the bar was in upside down I am pretty sure it would interfere with the sub frame. The angle looks wrong, should be parallel to the strut rod? Are you sure ...

Re: Lou's 65 Comet Build
That’s a nice one Lou. Other than looks I wonder what the difference is between Derales “Heavy Duty” and their “high Performance” fans? Joe From their site the heavy duty pulls more air at low speeds and 10,000rpm limit. The high performance is for limited space and rated for 8,000 rpm. My buddy st...

Re: Lou's 65 Comet Build
I have been trying to decide what to run. Been looking at an aluminum one like Boss has, but I didn't know ford had a factory flex fan. What years/models did they use a flex fan? Thanks Lou Hey Lou I think I have a stock Ford flex fan somewhere here. If you want it it’s yours. Im running a lightwei...

Re: Lou's 65 Comet Build
A little off subject but- I am kind of curious as to why aluminum radiators are so popular. Being more of an old school thinker I have always used copper/ brass radiators with excellent results. My belief is that if you design the cooling system with components that are proven to work and are compa...
