COMET CENTRAL

Sorry all,

I did find a windshield. With installation it cost me $310.

Hello,

Thanks for the information. It is a column shift automatic.

All, I know I have been asking a lot of questions lately and I thank everyone that answered them. You are all experts in my eyes. I have another question. I need a diagram of the 1966 comet caliente steering column. Supposedly there is a small screw missing from inside and I was told I need to repla...

I have looked and will most likely go with buying my own tools. The cost here is very high and it will be fun to learn how to do it. what shims are needed? Is there a link that shows where the shims go I can reference?

Thanks

brian

All,

Does the 1966 mercury comet require shims to have the front end alignment? I am calling alignment shops and most will not align my car "it too old" or other shops want 400 to 500 dollars to do the alignment. I do live in the bay area but this seems kind of excessive.

thanks everyone. Got the seat installed and it works perfectly.

Perfect!!!! Exactly what I needed to see.

Thank you so much!!

Looks good from what I’m seeing. I got a couple shots of mine, looks similar.

Do you have a photo of where the cable goes in the front middle of the seat?

Thank you

Here is a picture of my seat. The cable is seen at the far right. The lever is at the bottom along with the tensioner.

Wow, ok, awesome.

Thanks a million.

I would be lost without this group!!

I took my front bench seat to the upholsterer to get it recovered about a month ago. I am ready to install it but when I looked the cable that goes from the adjuster lever to the other side does not look right. It is all attached but he hog ringed it to the from of the seat frame. This does not seem...

This might be the only way to go. I am on the west coast and it is a bear to fins the bumpers that do not cost and arm and a leg.

I am in the same boat with my 66 caliente. It would be great if they are interchangeable.

No luck finding a windshield for the comet. Will a fairlane windshield fit?

I found a C4 transmission kickdown linkage cable from CJPoney parts. It is for a 68 mustang. Do you think it would fit my 66 caliente? Mine is missing and I would like to get it back to original working condition.

Thanks for the advice. This group is awesome. So many newbie questions answered.
