COMET CENTRAL

it started up right away no problem!
so I timed it
drove it around the block
it doesn't run well or drive well
might be a vacuum leak somewhere
going to need to do some trouble shooting

nice!

I had a feeling that was the case, I'm selloutking on there

Update: these will probably be for sale on eBay real soon. The manufacturer wanted me to mount the pods on a grill just to check fitment. So I used a standard dash grill and snipped out 2 sections for the mount bosses to go through. Drilled the bosses and used wood screws to hold it down. They prov...

That carb looks pretty bad a$$ sitting on top of that 6 cyl. doesn't it though!? throttle linkage is done and dialed, including return spring! took a bit of pedal arm and pedal modification as well. had to shorten how far it ran along the firewall, and rotated it back some so that full throttle had...

ok carb is on the manifold and dialed in now

linkage is next

Could you post a photo or two on how the gas tank and fuel fill is routed?I screwed up when I pulled mine out,did not make any notes!!!!!! ROY. this is hard to do with a low slung car that's jammed into a small garage and surrounded by junk. I will try and remember to make an attempt at this next t...

Anyone in the Oregon area have a set of 60-65 falcon/comet rear leaf springs?
don't care if they are from a v8 or 6 car

Painted up the bracket, mounted it and the alt, trimmed the battery tray (which needs more trimming) and bolted on the down pipes.


Up next is the carb adaptor.

FINALLY got around to making my alt/ac bracket. Just needs paint and its ready to bolt everything on. next is the carb adaptor....

I looked into mounting the compressor on the other side of the motor, and while it looks like it would work, I didn't like how much it would crowd the dizzy and where I mounted the coil.

Got my ignition system in and wired up.
That's about it at this point

Nothing special ended up happening with this. I just said what ever and put my rebuilt head on the block in the car. While it was all apart I cleaned and painted the block up and then painted the head as well. Just put the header on, few more things to bolt on so that I can make my alt/ac mount and ...

My springs are cut a ton and it still rides like a dream boat

only sad news to report here today. when I ordered my pistons I was working under the impression that my block was completely stock, I should have measured the bores before ordering but I didn't even have the block with me at the time. I have now found that my block is already .030 over. So I pulled...
