It has a deep pan on it, need to pull it and see what's inside but it will have to wait. Nostalgia drags this weekend at the local track, going with some gasser friends. Spent the day switching cars in the trailer and getting ready. Thanks for the advice I know where to start looking now!

moved some stuff around so I could back my trailer to the garage and push the car in, started it up and it went right into gear and backed out on its own. Put it into first and went right in. need to pull the pan.

I bought this 460 C6 Fairlane on eBay almost a year ago. I took it to the track for the first time yesterday. I drove it around the pits to warm it up and play with the line loc and trans brake buttons. Everything seemed fine so I to it for a run. Went off the trans brake everything went fine shifting at 6000 and ran 11.30 at 116. Turning off and heading up the return road I noticed the trans felt like it was slipping, by the time I got to the ticket booth I had nothing but park. Seems strange to me any ideas?

just for future reference the early Crane Pro Curve Distributor is not supported by Fast. The replacement Small caps fit but the rotor doesn't. The replacement for the Crane 1000-1553 rotor is Prestolite 4-100 or mercury Mariner 392-9089 marine parts

My rotor self destructed inside the cap while cruising Saturday. I never seen one come apart like that before. Since Fast bought Crane Ignitions they don't support this distributor and I can't find a replacement anybody know what fits? Seems like it would be the same as something out there.

Did you look at the vin stamped on the firewall flange? Like to see what the M in that one looks like.

I have a Power Master in my Comet and had to drill 2 new holes to index it where I needed it.

In edit,  That is 2 new holes in the face of the starter indexing plate. I have a Pond block with Crites headers, it's very tight.

I saw one on display at the Detroit Autorama. Spotted it from 100 feet away and was drawn like a moth to a lamp. Nice piece! They had it on a pedestal in the middle of their display.

I was checking here for FERR info since I couldn't make it this year and Just noticed a bunch of post here since the last time I looked. Interesting to see so many blown TKO's! I was at the Detroit Autorama and saw some Tremek reps with a cutaway TKO. Couldn't help but go over and show them photos, they showed me what happens. They said the counter shaft flexes and showed me why. The counter shaft is supported on the ends of the shaft nothing in the middle, combined with the rotational force of the gears at high rpm and a 650 hp FE motor, it flexes in the middle going into third, 7000 rpm for me, the force makes it try to jump a tooth and takes out the whole thing. I've since had my TKO rebuilt by Liberty and just hung it in the Comet yesterday. Went back to steel wheels with 10 x 30 Firestone pie crust cheater slicks. When I took the Weld wheels off and put the steel wheels on it was amazing how much heavier the steel wheels are! I am putting all the exhaust and street parts back on it and drive it on the street. I made it too heavy for launching it hard at the track. So no drag race crash box for this one but some easy runs and shifting at 6,500 won't hurt. But I got a 10.80 out of it with 28 in Street ET's! Should have not put the 30 inch slicks on it but I had fun! I think it would have run a 10.50 if the trans didn't blow! I need a dedicated race car. 

Thanks, Steve
