    I'm new, had my comet for a couple weeks now, she's pretty great. Runs pretty good, it's a 250, automatic. It idles a bit rich for my tastes, and has a hard time starting in the heat. If anyone could help me with these issues I would be grateful! But I hope to learn a lot here and I look forward to being a part of this community. I also look forward to making my Comet even better! Main thing right now is fix the minor issues, then start making the engine perry again. Then I'll paint it and re-crime everything. The interior only needs a couple minor things, like figuring out where that annoying rattling is coming from :( gonna try to post some pics for you guys/gals. We'll be talking again soon!

    Interior pics and engine coming up

    Pretty stoked about the interior, main reason I got it, that's the hardest part to restore.

    Thanks for the warm welcome!

    So, I would like to start doing something to the engine, probably the hot start problem, it gets hot in Maryland. Anyone know the best place to start?
