    That is a very nice car. What exhaust is on that? I didnt think that motor would fit without shock tower mods, but there it is. I think that is an excellent motor to have in a light car.

    Ya, it fits. Sparkplugs #2,3 5,6 will be fun to change. I purchased a set of Tubular Automotive headers for it but, they would not fit power steering. So I am running stock cast manifolds with 2 1/4" dual exhaust and Flowmasters.
    It has a well built C4 with a 2800 Hughes convertor It is a lot of fun to drive. Problem is finding fuel for it.
    Engine is 10.75 to 1. It will run on 91 if you detune it. I mix 91 and some of the 114 I run in may ranger.

    Know what you are saying. I had a 72 Comet GT I bought new in 72. Married and kids and it was gone. Too hard to get little one in car seat in a 2 dr.

    Great looking Comet. I want to ask, is the paint OE color? Is it enamel, urethane, single stage, clear coated, it looks great.
