Springs and shackles look good I guess its just how its going to be.  I have a set of 235's I'll see how they fit. They will look better than the 195's that are on my car now. Thanks for your input everyone.

Well I looked today and the rubbers are in place around the springs.  I loosened the ubolts and attempted to move the rear end with no luck. After taking some measures there is a 1/2" difference between the two sides.  Looks like I will be putting smaller tires on this week.

I am fairly sure that I have the rubbers installed. Its been 12 years since I put the rear end in. I will have to check tomorrow.

Non-FE Discussion Forum / rear tire fitment on a 67 comet
« on: June 07, 2017, 07:45:56 PM »
So I installed new 15x8 torq thrust wheels with 4.5 backspace and 255 60 tires on the rear of my 67 comet today. I knew it was going to be a tight fit but they fit. The issue I have is that I have a lot more clearance on the passenger side compared to the drivers side. It appears to be a side to side issue. I can put my entire hand in between the tire and wheel lip on the passenger side.  The drivers side I can only get half of my fingers in between the tire and lip. Is there any adjustments that I can make? Or anyone have any ideas? Thanks Cody

Do you know what his name is or where he is located? I know of a guy from belfast that has many old and rare ford parts but he doesnt sell anything.

Ok guys looks like I have a trans deal that's going to happen. I still need everything else.  It looks like a bellhousing is not going to be easy or cheap to find. Trans is a rug-j2. What bellhousing will work with the j2 hooked to a 390.?

Will a mustang trans work? I believe they have a shorter tail shaft.

Just curious what brand mufflers and what size pipes everyone likes for an aggressive sounding street car.

It is the performer rpm intake. What is your take on an H-pipe? Currently my car doesn't have an H-pipe.  What exactly is the purpose?  Also what cam would you recommend?  Personally I would like a more rough or more lobey sound if that makes sense.

I didn't think to say that I have an edlbrock performer intake with a 600 holley. Pertronix ignitor elctronic points. Stock manifolds with 2inch exhaust with flowmaster mufflers. I plan to upgrade to 2.5inch exhaust this spring. Can I get headers with power steering.? Other than that its pretty much stock. See this is why I joined this forum I would have never thought about all of these thing. Im definitely going to look into getting a copy of jays book. Im just looking for an aggressive sounding streetable car. Im not going to race it .... well not at the track but red light to red light hell yes!! Thanks

Hi gang newbie here. I'm looking to hop up my 67 390gt thats in my 67 comet caliente. Motor was bored .030 and built about 15 years ago by my father and I. It probably only has 1200-1500 miles on it since rebuilt. Car was a long time, im talking 12 year project. I don't know much about the rebuild other than the bore and my father said it had an rv cam.  I have never been happy with the performance of this motor.  Im looking for a street cruiser with an aggressive sound. Stock c6 trans and im not sure what the rear gears are. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks Cody
