Are there any owners here running the oval Cobra style carburetor air filter? I am working on it, but I have a couple of inches of interference with the lip of the firewall. I know that I can make an offset lower plate that will work, but I was thinking that maybe someone makes one that I can buy instead. Thanks- Seth
No answer.......but on a side note....... Seth, you have got to get that car done and bring it to the MCCI Round-Up. Not just because it's a Comet, either!!! WOW!!! That looks nice!!! MCCI
Thanks, Craig. It's taking me long enough, don't you think? I hope to attend next years event. By the way, I regret not joining MCCI much sooner. I had intended to wait until I had a running car before joining any clubs. You guys hear that? Craig talked me into joining when I wasn't ready and now I an sorry that I hadn't done it sooner. JOIN TODAY !!! You will get some really GOOD STUFF !! SethBy the way, I regret not joining MCCI much sooner.
Its been a long time since my comet was stock under the hood . What is that doodad beside the charcoal canister and for that matter the thing above it ? They look like a linelock and a fuel reg to me but not sure.
the doo-dad beside the cannister is the bay side of the a/c evaporator where the lines hook up. the doo-dad above it is the heater valve that bypasses the heater core when the a/c is on. Oh, how I wish mine were hooked up. It was 105 in KC today!
I had one of the oval cobra aircleaners on my comet in the early 80's. had the same problem,.I notched the lip on the firewall if I remember right....
Doodads... You are right on identifying those items. The part sticking through the firewall is the expansion valve attached to the coil for the A/C. I probably will not put the A/C on it this year as I plan to buy one of the aftermarket kits from someone like Vintage Air. I understand that their compressors work much better and that they give less drag. Seth
