COMET PERFORMANCE

Hmm... don't rule out that new foot dimmer switch. Seems to me the entire headlight current goes through that switch and back to the lights. Seems once I lost all my headlights (dims and brights) and had to keep pressing my foot against that switch to keep them on. You may have a bad switch or may h...

Two excellent suggestions, Jim.

My phone is littered with photos of every step of something or other.

Nothing wrong with wanting to learn how something works. I've torn apart many perfectly good working things just to see how/why they work. And nothing more frustrating than the thing you've been trying to fix suddenly start working WITHOUT me knowing what I did to fix it. So I tear it back apart to ...

This is not my field of expertise, but I don't know any reason why you'd want to run a 160. If it were me, I'd move up to a 185 and see what happens. Good news is, it's not a difficult swap if you have to change it again for some reason.

This warms my heart: "I was planning to get an electrical guitar after I saved up some money (since I’ve been interested in a while), but I think I will instead buy myself a welder, mask and an angle grinder to Replace rusted areas of the mainframe." A man's got to have his priorities and you certai...

Light Blue vert is a 67? That may be the first 67 we've had. What's the setup 289? 390? Engine photos would be nice

Welcome aboard. Love to see photos of this project, so if you need help posting, please ask. And I'm sure there are a few of us who will want to see the car in person someday, even if it does mean making the sacrifice and making a trip to Hawaii

Flat side up, PCV valve to the back and at least a paper gasket above and below.

Nice work. Gonna be a nice ride too. Keep the photos coming.

Yep, I think they were fine, but judge for yourself. https://www.cometcentral.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=2427&start=465 I had a little trouble with the instructions, and honestly, I think I had a piece left over. Mine were cut and sewn which is different than molded (depending on which way you g...

Phew! that is pricey.

If you want to remain authentic, stick with the Gen. If you don't care about that or you're planning to add some larger accessories (kicking stereo, undercarriage lighting, etc.) consider switching to Alt. Generator Pros: Looks authentic You already have one Generator Cons: Harder to come by if it f...

You should stream that online so we can all learn something.

I just love that on the Comet forum somebody can post a random picture of some obscure part and within an hour somebody has explained exactly what it's for. Blows my mind. Good on ya!
