Re: My Comet Project

Finally started back up on the Comet. I was happy to have the exhaust finished, I used Flowtech terminator series mufflers. They are a thad bit quiet compared to Flow Master 40 serie (which is what I may switch back to). I didn't want to run the exhaust to the bumper so i had them dumped just past the rear end.

Re: My Comet Project

Update: Well after installation of the exhaust, I can hear a roaring sound. At frist I thought it was coming from the rear of the engine, but the second I pushed the clutch pedal in, the noise stopped. So I guess I will drop it down and change the clutch release bearing.

Re: My Comet Project

Re: My Comet Project

Not yet Fred, I got side lined a bit on a 67 Mustang that I sold to a buddy, then I bought it back because he couldn't finish it. But I did finally get the clutch bearing replaced, changed the headliner to gray, and won a front windsheild on Ebay (just today), so Next week I plan on dropping a 5.0 HO engine and AOD trans into the Mustang, then it's off the the paint and body shop for the comet.

Re: My Comet Project

Comet Update: I have been driving the Comet in Primer for the past month, working out all the bugs. It has been getting around 25mpg (provided that I don't put my foot in it). Damn this thing is fast. I am sending the 67 mustang to the body next week, then I will send the Comet after that.
