Those covers look nice but they are on the pricey side. I've got to believe you can get a halfway decent all-weather cover that fits for around...
Like the title says. My Comet lives outside and the cover I've been using is not an all weather cover. It's been raining nonstop up here and the...
No, 1:24 unfortunately. Jason
I was at Walgreens a few weeks ago and noticed that they have an American Graffiti 1:18 scale diecast set. The back of the box shows a picture of...
My 200ci doesn't have much power but it sure isn't bad on the wallet. I get about 20mpg around town, then about 24 on the highway. My girlfriend's...
What about an AOD? I've got one sitting in my garage out of an 89GT that would make a nice addition to the Comet.
Yeah, I'm gonna take a box end and heat it with the torch and bend it like a step-down to get it in there. I'll see how it works and let you know....
Does anybody know the size of the hex-head screws under the windshield weather stripping? Jason
Don Lancaster, inventor, engineer, and credible source on most things engineering, has a lot to say on HHO (a.k.a. Brown's Gas) and psuedoscience...
PaulS, That is exactly what Ferdinand Porsche did with his Elektromobil which was introduced in 1900. It had 4 electric hub motors, ran on...
Here is an interesting observation I came up with... The volumetric density of gasoline is about 9000 watt hours per liter. That is 9 kWh/l or...
David74Maverick, Air/fuel is a ratio of mass, not volume (gallons). The volume of 1kg of air is different than the volume of 1kg of gasoline so...
PaulS, Where did you get the 270W from? Also, slight correction, 270W is actually slightly above 0.36 mechanical horsepower (1 HP =...
Does anybody know where I can find a list of what wires are always live in the electrical system on my 71 Comet? I have the shop manual but for...
As a researcher I have to say I cringe when I hear this topic come up. The topic of perpetual motion and breaking the law of conservation of...
After taking the car out yesterday and playing with the transmission I think PaulS is right. I think I have 2nd and 3rd, not 1st and 3rd. Also, I...
Ah, my dodge truck shifts as well, so maybe it's just a Ford thing that it doesn't shift. I could've sworn that it shifted on the Comet when I had...
I may be mistaken but I believe that manual 2nd still allows the 1st to 2nd shift. Since, if you took off from a dead stop in 2nd it would likely...
To summarize your post, I am pretty sure I am getting 1st and 3rd; not 2nd and 3rd. The reasons are as follows: 1) If I put it in drive the shift...
It doesn't go into 2nd at any throttle level, light or wot. I read about the vacuum modulator last night and I read the shop manual to figure...
