What did you do to your Maverick or Comet today

Drove mine to work today with my efi. Love it so far. Had to adjust the iac for it to start correctly but it's awesome

 

Been working on this info. board off-on all winter; finally got it together to use at upcoming shows. Hopefully, it will answer some of the questions posed to me repeatedly at some of the place I frequent.

 

Man...you guys are going to convince me to order one of these just to try it. I've been wanting to go EFI for a long time, and was considering the Holley Dominator system. Just not sure on taking that leap yet. I know I'm going to need a bigger carb than what I have now when I get the new 421 going. This is looking better as an option all the time. Was also tossing around the idea of a 1050 Dominator as well, but would rather spend the money on EFI in the long run.

The $150 off they're offering through the end of May is another selling point to consider. The wheels are turning right now lol...

 

Do it bud, save the $150 before it's too late. There's a guy running one at the track as well going 10.xx's but he's having tuning issues as it still needs to self learn.

 

I'm running E85 and would like to hear from someone using it as well before taking the leap. I've gotten a lot of stuff in this week...will try to upload pics tomorrow. It's been like Christmas in May lol. Got the ARP Main & Head Studs in, got my new Autometer gauges in, got the Ultra 40 wires in, got the ARC Flat Touch Switch Panel...I can't think of what all else has arrived right now...it's been a long week already lol.

 

Wait a minute..... No pics of all this goodness.

 

I'll try this again...storms are over this morning, and my internet might actually stay connected lol...

 

Between the 150 rebate and then I got a 10% off summit, it made my decision alot easier. Lol the engine bay needs to be cleaned up. But for the first time since I've owned the car I'm able to just drive it, not tinker with it trying to get it to run decent.

 

Got the block masked off and painted before I went in to the office this morning...

 

One of the Comet's previous owners had the good sense to add a pair of correct Maverick sport mirrors. Unfortunately they cut the driver side remote mirror control cables and bondoed the mirror into the housing. Luckily I had a Mustang II sport mirror with both the mirror and cable intact. It was a bit of a bear disassembling the cable assembly but now that it is back together and functioning it was well worth it. Also installed a modified Mustang export brace to replace the two factory braces.

 

Had some new stuff arrive....ARP Rod Bolt Stretch Gauge




A New Air Dryer/Filter for the compressor. Trying to get ready to be able to shoot some primer and paint...

 

I replaced the valve covers and gaskets had to replace the oldschool MT valve covers thanks to them not having a baffle for the oil splash and the 1.7 rockers were hitting it if I instaledl a baffle.
stopped the oil leaks. also put my custom powder coated door panels on got new door and trunk locks installed and adjusted the chassis engineering traction control setup installed drag shocks and got a new tack installed also fixed a jacked up marker light in the fender fixed burnt wire for my msd box going to the battery wanted to get alot more than that done but ran out of time now its time for some

picking up some new drag radials tomorrow to make sure I slap curb hopper and a couple of other friends including one chevy truck if all goes well. the only one Im worried about is that chevy. Ive never seen it run yet. the other two mavericks I am pretty confident I got them this time

 

took it out yesterday and taught the MSD Atomic EFI another lesson......
so far it has a pretty good memory...

 

went out last night and had a BLAST giving my tires and donut skills a workout only to discover that I developed a gas leak from the carbs pump underneath and I just about lost a fog light only one screw was holding it on today

 

Got some old US Indy Slots....14x7 times 4. will have the same size tire on every corner someday.
