Just traded into my first Ford...kinda. I am now the owner of a 1975 Mercury Comet 2 door. Inline 6 cylinder engine, automatic gearbox. I can't lie, i've never been a Ford guy. However, I have been very impressed with this little engine. I've only had it for a few days now, but runs smooth. Odometer shoewing 80k miles, and no clue if it had already mafe a trip though the digits. Looks like someone has hacked up the top, and did a 0.5 donkey job of fixing it. Lots of body filler, and then attacked it with a red rattle can. I swear sone of these rattle can bandi need to be smacked. You can tell from the inside of trunk, jambs and engine bay this machine used to be a nice blue color. Anyways, looking forward to tinkering on this thing, and getting a few miles out of her as well. Already ordered a new winshield gasket (leaking badly), and a set of shocks for all 4 corners. It isnt in great shape, but still runs well so I figure it to be worth it. I will try to get a picture up when I get to a computer. Phone isn't cooperating.
Welcome to the board from Northeastern IL. Also, a Comet owner. Ur in the right place for parts and info. :Handshake
from SoCal Have you tested for cowl leaks yet? It's a pretty common issue with these cars. Try to search "cowl" and "windshield" to get info that has already been discussed here.
