COMET CENTRAL

No just his one. It’s a HP 650 double pumper.

Next event is in October. I’d like to figure out the fueling issue. Maybe add an electric pump at the tank to boost the fuel to the mechanical pump? There’s “road race” floats, jet extensions and spring loaded needle/seats to think about. Im not sure if it’s on the pump side or a carb issue. I think...

Couple of vids. My buddy Omar was out there taking vids of the action. https://youtu.be/ykidiEZlEWo?si=uZ7FKt3Fx_huDZQE https://youtu.be/SF75N9y3-6A?si=rRJ6rAEdvflqL2tz I added a 1 1/8 inch sway bar but I’m still lifting the right rear wheel off the track in that hard right hander in the first vid. ...

Another track event in the books for the Falcon. 2 days, maybe 8 twenty-minute sessions. 80 laps or so? Not sure maybe I should write all this stuff down. Car ran amazing as always. Had to fatten up the jets on both sides to stay around 12.5 on the AFR gauge. Ran great with the adjustment. I went a ...

Dang Lou your car and details are flippin’ amazing!

We took the Comet for several short jaunts today as roads were dry.

Those trunk panels look very good!

That’s a Mustang tag number. Strange it has the lever for a cable throttle.

This is awesome !

What’s the number on the carb? I did a little poking around and it looks like your carb might be for a full size Ford with a throttle cable instead of linkage (the cable connected to that ball stud you’re not using). On those the kick down rod was attached directly to the carb, whereas a Comet had t...

Your Comet looks great! Congrats on first drive! Ive also noticed that when I transition from a modern car to my Comet or Falcon I think “what the hell is wrong with this thing!??” But after driving it awhile all is well. It’s just old with slow steering and ancient suspension design and geometry. I...

Hi all, I’m glad to find this forum and have owned my ‘63 S-22 convertible for about 9 years. I bought it site unseen off of eBay. I delivered it to my wife’s graduate school graduation and surprised her with it. Instead of flying home (we were not living near her school at that time), we drove it ...

Great looking Comet! Bummer about the console lid emblem. They were reproduced awhile back and like most everything else Comet specific they went away. I should have bought 20 of them :roll: I think your best bet is keep an eye on EBay, a nice used one may pop up. I just did a pretty thorough search...

I used this one for both my Comet and Falcon 4 speed cars https://www.npdlink.com/product/cable-a ... 618/200426

My goal would be to cruise all 2448 miles from Chicago to Santa Monica. Problem is, its 800 miles from my house to Chicago. Then I've got to get back home from Santa Monica. :roll: Might take a bit of planning and a whole lot of time. :shock: Jim Yes that would be cool! Me and my son are making a t...

Yessir there will be plenty of pics!
GoPro? Hmmm hadn’t thought of that but yes! I’ll get some live action going with that too.
Should be fun. It’s not a long trip, maybe a couple hundred miles…but lots of cool landmarks commemorating the Old Road.
