My 72 Comet Build.....

Some progress made today..... I chased all the threads in the floor after painting last week..... I got the -8 bulkheads in and finish the fuel hoses under the car and got them hooked up to the bulkheads, I also made a line for the vent filter to mount on..... Then I put the rear valence back on..... last thing I did is mount the fuel vent can and made/installed the line from the vent can to the floor bulkhead fitting.....

Tomorrow I need to work on rerouting some of the wiring in the trunk due to new locations of components before installing anything else.....

Progress pic's.....

 

Thanks Chip.....

Got some of the wiring rearranged today..... Remounted the water/meth pump and put the fuel cell in place......

No pic's for today, forgot the phone.....​

 

The trunk area is almost back together now, made some good progress today..... Just need to mount the fuel pump control and do a small amount of wiring tomorrow.....

Here's the Holley fuel pump module ready to go in the cell.....



Here's the fuel pump control I need to mount in the am.....



and here's what the trunk is looking like.....


​

 

Only got about 3/4 of the wiring done on Sunday..... Guess there's always next weekend, and the one after that, and the one after that.....

 

Finished the wiring in the trunk and tested everything Saturday..... All worked fine except I had a little trouble with the water/meth level sensor, but I got that straightened out..... Today I will get the torque converter changed and should at least get started on the gear change.....

​

 

Got the converter changed yesterday and the rear end cover removed.....

 

Got the gear set up this weekend, plus a couple other small things..... I still new to reinstall the axles and brakes..... I also had to modify my tailpipe slightly to clear the new fuel cell lower box, I'll get that welded later this week.....

It's getting close, I think it will run again next weekend and hopefully be able to drive it some next week.....

 

I did get most of it together..... MIA is a piece of the Tial BOV Clamp, I've got one coming..... The only other thing I still need to hook up is the water/meth fittings in the charge pipe..... I did get it running again, started right up with the new tune( I might be starting to get a decent understanding of the tuning)….. I also got it back on the scales, it has lost 120lbs but it still weighs in at 3290 with my big ass in it..... After some adjusting on the suspension it's now only 33lbs heavy in the right rear, much better then the almost 90 it was before..... I am pretty happy with that..... The new converter seems pretty good so far..... It should be up and driving next weekend..... Hopefully I don't break it on 20psi.....

 

Got everything together this morning..... Drove it around a little, made a couple test hits..... it's making a little more boost then I thought it would, 21- 22 psi..... The new converter seems to be pretty good, the real test will be on a sticky surface..... Overall it feels really strong, and is driving well..... I have a couple tweeks to make and I'll get it cleaned up in the morning, maybe I'll even get it out to the track for a little testing this week.....

 

That's a lot of boost, I bet it pulls hard

 

Yes it does!!!!!

 

Whats it going to tear up now you have taken care of all of it so hopefully you can quit working on it and enjoy it

 

I hope so, at least for a little while.....

 

Now it will tear up the drag strip...
