COMET CENTRAL

I appreciate arm chair guessing. I am running out of guessing. Right now I am leaning towards Johno's thought about the toe being too far in. The toe was really far out when I first put the rack in and I have been adjusting it little by little. I am thinking my last little was a little too much. Oth...

Thank you, I will check that also. When I first put the rack in it wayyyyy toe out. So I have been adjusting it little by little. Maybe I went in too much.

Thanks. This weekend it will be too cold to work in the garage, supposed to be single digit highs, but I will start to tear it apart and see what I find. I still have a little bit before the weather allows daily driving. I will post what I find.

I was questioning the tie rod ends also but when I compare the new ones to the old ones they appear to be the same kind. I also did not think that that would allow the wheels to drop down like they are when I lift the car. Do you know of a good way to check the strut rod bushings and the control arm...

Its been a while since I posted but I have been working on my Comet. I have the Unisteer rack and pinion installed and working. I have made some sense of the wiring and now have working tach, brake lights, turn signals and wipers. I still have to get the exhaust modified on the drivers side that I h...

Thanks for the offer but somebody beat you to it.

Comet central rocks!
I have never seen so many people willing to lend a hand.

Thanks!

Call off the search. I am taken care of.

I am looking for a drivers side exhaust manifold from a 70's era 289/302 ford. The manifold I need has the gasses exiting towards the rear of the car as opposed to the rear and down. I am looking for something cheap without cracks.

Thanks,
Trent

Thanks

Here are the pics of what I am seeing. In case anybody has a better idea than the exhaust manifold that shoots directly back. http://i1381.photobucket.com/albums/ah206/thrnelson/20150924_194145_resized_zpscqboqoiq.jpg http://i1381.photobucket.com/albums/ah206/thrnelson/20150924_194158_resized_zpslj3...

I have heard NOTHING but bad things about UNISTEER!! I installed one in a T-Roadster,owner wanted it.it was junk!! I followed the instructions EXACTLY,it was a POS!!!! ROY. I had read that also but this one was already purchased in the trunk and the steering could not wait. It looks like there are ...

It has a dual exhaust already. What year maverick manifold are you referring to?

The exhaust manifold stud is right up against the u joint there is not even enough room for a nut.

Here is the background. I bought a comet and it had a brand new unisteer manual rack and pinion in the trunk. This was good because the steering was horrible. The car also came with a GM steering column. I was able to work with unisteer to get the proper u joints I needed to install the rack. The ra...

No Worries! I get asked that question all the time!! Care to tell the group about your 65? ROY. I would love to talk about my 65. It has a 289 with a floor shift c4. I am in the process of installing a manual steering rack and pinion from Unisteer. My Comet came with a GM steering column so that ad...
