What did you do to your Maverick or Comet today

Sooo true both of you. I,m cheap but i spend $$$ on my old cars.

This time i Just couldn't see dropping $300 plus on door panels.

 

I agree, thinking about making door panels for my Comet just haven’t decided how I’m going to do it.

 

Spent more money on it. The bolts that came with my Richmond bearing kit for the rear are too short for the trac-loc. Of course you can't order from Summit and pay freight so I ordered extras!

 

I thought I struck it rich in belly bar bolts .....6 out of a 63 Fairlane. $2.83 @ Pick&Pull.
I went home all giddy to bolt in my belly bar, threaded them bolts right in, tightened them up, and they just skipped in there??? The 1/2" bolts wont thread in......soooo, I went to Ace and got two metric bolts that were a touch smaller than 1/2 and seemed to have the same thread count as the ones pictured above, and got 2 nuts. After a little grinding, I had this.
These actually threaded in nice, and torqued down good with a big ratchet. So, in a 1974, Metric bolts are required?????? At least in mine. I am glad I didnt spring 12$ + 12$ shipping for "Correct" bolts that skip? I dont know...but it is in, FINALLY!!!!!

 

Put a different set of shoes on the old girl, before y’all freak out I will not be running the car with the Ranger wheels their just for rolling it around.

 

I spy a 2 door fox body back there. Hmmmmmmm.......

 

No, the vehicles in the background are, 76 Comet 2 door & 78 Thunderbird. No fox body cars on the property.

 

Took it for a drive to get some learning in on the sniper EFI, feels good to drive it again after almost 2 years

 

ah poo....I thought it was a Zephyr or some Fairmont style thing.

 

Switched to front disc a few years back, finally got around to plumbing in the disc/drum proportioning valve in place of the distribution block. Curious to see if it makes a difference after bleeding.

 

Mee too...

I have a '74 disc MC on Comet & still using drum/drum distribution block, seems to be OK. The factory disc/drum proportioning valve softens hit on rear. Supposedly lessens likelihood of rear lock up under sudden braking.

 

Test fit a couple roller rockers that I picked up for $75, pushrods look to be the correct length just need to pick up some pedestal shims to set the lash. Cleaned up a set of aluminum valve covers I picked up for free, they look better than the stamped steel ones & clear the new rockers.

 

What heads are those?

And you may need to use valve guides with those rollers.

 

I wasnt gonna soup my comet up because i got that stang for that.

Ran nice and strong with 2 barrel few days ago. Curiosity got me wondering how she'd run on 4barrel.
Cleaned up an old 700dp i had and!
HELL YEAH!!!

 

It’s a stock 94 Mustang GT 5.0 with E7 heads, they are Ford Racing
M-6564-B351 roller rockers and say “Does not require guide plates”.
