65 Radios

What do you guys do for an upgraded radio. The only thing I've found so far is to send the original in and have it redone

Re: 302 with serpentine in a 64

Here is a picture of my 89 - 302 with a serpentine belt set up I put together. The brackets are off an 87 Marque . It had the double pulley on the bottom, so I got a single off ebay and I had to also get a smaller water pump pulley off ebay. I made the idler arm pulley set up and installed a AC dele...

Re: 65 Comet 4 link

After looking up 4 link designs I decided to build my own. I built a triangular 4 link using material I bought on the internet. You can see my build under Tomb's 65 comet build. It's listed just under your post.

Re: Tomb's 65 Comet Build

Haven't had much time to spend on this project, but I removed the engine and transmission from it. Both are good working units, a 260 and a C4 and they are up for sale. Here is a picture of the 260 https://s26.postimg.cc/ipp9e7lyh/DSC01384.jpg This is the 89 - 302 roller block almost ready to instal...

Re: Tomb's 65 Comet Build

If I where to do it again I would not go with the 45 degree angle with the tabs on top of the rear end. My upper links are really long and I have plenty to work with, I figured I would locate my rear and then determine the tab locations to weld them on, I would like to avoid welding to the pumpkin ...

Re: Tomb's 65 Comet Build

I really like seeing these because I am going to do a triangulated 4-link as well so this gives me a preview. See Ya, Mike If I where to do it again I would not go with the 45 degree angle with the tabs on top of the rear end. I would go with less angle so that the upper links would run into the fr...

Re: Tomb's 65 Comet Build

I learned how to put my rear in pretty quick. I would have the tires on it & roll it under there. of course it was a little different - leaf springs bolted to the axle. I would push from the back eyes & get it lined up then push down,making the front eye go up starting in to the pocket. usually had...

Re: Tomb's 65 Comet Build

I had a pair of 2 chamber and I could only drive for 30 minutes so I swapped them out for some 3 chamber. They still sound good outside but you don't get that droning noise inside. Today I installed the rear end for the final time. I thought I had it figured out how to do it easily, but it turned ou...

Re: Tomb's 65 Comet Build

Thanks for the compliments. I'm spraying the bottom with bed liner and I wanted to spray the trunk area with a sound deadener. I want to use the car as a daily driver and be able to talk to my wife. It has flow master mufflers and sounds good on the outside.

Re: Tomb's 65 Comet Build

Well I cut the rear end out and then welded the tabs on good. Painted it up and put it back together with all new bearings and seals. https://s26.postimg.cc/h5jxftdk9/DSC01366.jpg Today I put the trunk back together and sealed up the seams. https://s26.postimg.cc/oa1qouktl/DSC01365.jpg What do you g...
