COMET CENTRAL

Merry Christmas all!

It looks like Fred gets the prize for the best gift this year!

I'm headed to have Christmas with my baby and grand baby tomorrow.

Happy thanks giving. I hope y'all don't freeze in this cold snap, 29 deg last night here on the Gulf of Mexico!

Welcome from South Mississippi 65 Comet owner.

Rarerat Nice Comet is it a 260 car? I finally made some progress on my Comet, new motor is in and I made it around the block and back. :D It ran when parked but the coil and fan temp switch went bad setting in the drive while the motor was being rebuilt. The thermostat gasket sprang a leak setting a...

Man Nothing I have looks that good!

Kind of late notice now but here is a link. http://www.cruisinthecoast.com/ I believe that falls under the "I used to do it all night and now it takes all night to do it" category. You going to Cruisin the Coast? I rebuilt the carb, cleaned her up a bit and went to the What-a-burger cruise night. Li...

I believe that falls under the "I used to do it all night and now it takes all night to do it" category. You going to Cruisin the Coast? I rebuilt the carb, cleaned her up a bit and went to the What-a-burger cruise night. Life is sure different now among hotrodders, by 7 or so it was clearing out an...

My Comet had 289 Shelby (271hp ?) front cover and pump on it when I bought it. I couldn't find a front cover when I broke it in the first motor explosion and I had to get 67 iron pump to fit available covers.

Roy
Do all the 65/66 289 covers use a different water pump than the 67 up or are the 271 hp different. What about the water pump interchangeability on the early front covers with the oil fill tube.

A powder coater here on the Miss. coast claims to be able to do powder coat chrome on fiberglass.

[quote="64merc"]Hey pops, I hope you had a better night than I did. I busted the wheel studs, and it made a hard left turn into the wall. Dang hate to see that nice a car busted up! Racers are the same here when I had my wheel stud breakage ( 9 lugs) a racer used his rollback to set mine on my trail...

I've had trouble with my Comp Cam Poly Locks coming loose. I've had to set rockers a little loose and turn locks and nut at the same time to get them tight enough (tricky to do with solid lifters). It has rained twice a day every day for three months here ( record rain fall for the year already) so ...

Roy looks like time for some wheelie bars
