Welcome from northern Michigan!
From what I googled the timing order is correct. A bad power valve would cause a rich condition at idle and low speeds. The power valve is...
I've never had to deal with a dual distributor, but I know one line is for vacuum advance, and the other would retard the timing for some sort of...
It sounds like the vacuum advance may be off/not working.
I highly doubt the heads have ever been reworked. When I got the car it still had a stock alternator! The guy I bought it from had a deep cycle...
Ok, i see. So the only way to know if the valve stem seals are bad is by visual inspection? I guess I could rule out the piston rings with a...

I definitely think it's worth it, that's a sweet looking car! Like rthomas771 said, I've seen a lot worse. I would suggest learning to weld, if...
That sounds nice! Electric blue, with that black grille to accent it. Maybe black out around the headlights...
Nice! I don't think you would like my paint suggestions. I like the ticket getting colors(hot rod red, orange, neon green, neon blue, etc...).
Could you upload a pic?
Thanks, I'm happy with it. I couldn't find any pictures online of a late 70's Comet with painted bumpers. But I found this Maverick; [IMG] And...
