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.
You should post in the technical section to get more responses.. http://mmb.maverick.to/forumdisplay.php?f=3 I agree.. My first thought was his choke based on his comments in his previous post..
Welcome from Northeastern Illinois... 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.
