    Is the car hard to start after the engine gets hot, or hard to start in warm/hot outdoor temperatures?.... if its hard to start after the engine heats up to operating temp, you might consider replacing the ignition coil.

    Welcome from Northeastern Illinois... :Welcome:
    Those seats look like they have been redone. They look too gud to be orig. 40+ yr old seats. They look something like the pattern I have on my seats -- I restored mine 2 yrs ago. I think there is a pix in my gallery. Hope u get the engine issues resolved soon. Nice car.

    Pretty sure they are original, only because I've seen the same interior design on two other comets, with the leather/cloth combo and the metal stud on the seats, but they were both red, which I didn't like, really. Also there is yellowing/discoloration on the cloth, but the pattern in the cloth hides it well.
