COMET CENTRAL

Great job!!
Boy that red looks good! lol

I had a similar problem turned out one of the leaves(?) in the pack was broken.
Was happy with ride height so pulled both packs and swapped a couple leaves side to side, the broken one replaced and new front bushings.
Managed to maintain the same ride height.

I'm not real knowledgeable on this topic but that's a toploader trans and it seems to me they only came in the '64 271hp cars of which very few were made. I don't see how the shifter could be mounted any farther forward on that trans and still function. Is the engine a 5bolt belhousing motor? Does i...

The engine has maybe 2500 miles on it but practically all of it at high RPM. Do you think the springs could wear out that quickly...

If Jim's comment is a motion I'll second that!
What a great story!

I raced a 65 Falcon roundy round in a low level street stock class in the early 80s. I raced in "2nd" gear but to get there I had to let the trans shift from low to drive then floor it and shift into low to get the "passing gear" (2nd) and hold it there. But if there was a caution or whatever and I ...

Does the shifter select indicator have a green dot?

Wow big show!!
