The motor sounds very strong, good swap on the carb. I hope it runs out nice for you. I like the way you take your time and fix everything up real tight before actually driving your vehicles. I miss my 69 Mustang Cobra Jet, love them old Fords.
Good progress and it is clever that you keep old parts around and you do not dump everything brainlessly. I am the kind of guy who has a hard time throwing stuff. Sometimes I have three gas pumps and two reserve carburettors in the trunk of my vehicles. I learned the hard way to always keep ignition cables and even sparkplugs in cars. I had critters eating cables so many times.
It sounds like someone has done some tweaking to that motor...... sounds great! Note: I just noticed that this car has a generator, not an alternator ....vintage OLD!
Hi Omar, Great job on the brakes, I’m glad you clean things up before you put parts together. Looks like you had a great time at Willow springs raceway. Take care Buddy !
nice job, I have been working on my 64 Tbird, got the trans back from the shop and installed it yesterday and the engine just came back from the machine shop ready for reassembly and installation. enjoy your channel, cheers
look at the rear brakes again . The self adjusting cable is not centered and seated on the spring pin . The outer spring is not seated on the pin either . May cause a problem later ...
Hey Omar can you suggest where to go to look for alternator and p/s brackets for my 68’ 390 build? It’s going in a Galaxie but can’t find brackets. Thanks.. love your comet btw ✌🏼
I bought it from Amazon, but a lot of other sellers have it as well. It’s a nice tool to have, it does have trouble with stainless steel 3/8ths line. I would recommend the master cool 72485. A friend of mine has it and it’s awesome, I’ll be upgrading soon to that one
The last thing I would not do is put tap water in the motor or Anti-Freeze, since you live where the weather doesn’t drop below 34 degrees. Go to a self serve pay water drinking machine station and at 35 cents a gallon would be nothing as compared to the rust that you will be getting in 5 days. Add a tablespoon of soluble oil lubricant for that bearing in that water pump. Trust me on what I’m telling you. My daily driver 66 F100 has been running on the same drinking purified water and water pump lubricant (soluble oil) for over 7 years without any issues & no rust whatsoever. Every 3 months I open up the radiator cap to look inside and I always notice the bottom radiator cap is bright clean without a hint of rust. And adding Anti-Freeze is a motor killer. If you blow a head gasket with Anti-Freeze in it , R.I.P Comet motor.
Thanks for bringing these classics back to life!
Much appreciated Scott!
Look at the Granada or Monarch for the disc brakes. The spindles worked for Mustang
Nice work on the brakes and your resourcefulness using existing parts!
Keep up the good work Omar!!!
Appreciate it thanks!
Nice job sir! Using the same air cleaner on my 70 Torino. Very cool
Great video and good to see you getting her ready for the road....... Omar's Fine Ford Emporium...
Thanks! She’s almost ready! Hahaha that’s cool Omar’s Fine Ford Emporium

Appreciate it! It’s almost on the road!

Nice to see this comet getting ready for the first drive. She sounds great. Also, Nice that we'll get another video.
Next one she will be in the road!
nice ride and job getting it on the road
Keep up the good work and congrats on the rad👌
Appreciate it!!
THIS IS SUCH A BIG SCORE! I can’t wait to go cruising!
That throttle response...👍
Congrats on the revival. I noticed the radiator hose kinked too. They will suck closed when hot. You don't want to cook the motor. 😁
Definitely will be fixed, engine runs great for a change haha
Nice progress , sounds healthy . Still performing “ hit and run “ work on my ‘64 Galaxie convertible so I can drive it around .
Haha anything to have it on the road
Great to see this Comet alive again. Keep up the great work. Please let me know when you order parts from CVF too. That offer stands.
Thanks again Garrett much appreciated!

Good video Omar. I love 64 comets. Looks pretty solid
Thanks, another comet will be on the road soon and this one is going to be sweet!!
Can't wait to see it moving, but neither can you, I would imagine. Haha

Very cool! Love it when everything comes back from the machine and it’s ready to go
Omar, it looks like space is gettin tight in your driveway and work area!
Hahaha it definitely is! I’m going to rearrange and make some more room!
you're a lucky man that car is awesome.
Thanks! This is definitely a sweet ride!! She’s almost ready for cruise night
I also have a 1964 comet, love my car,
How'd I miss this one!?
Yes we had a old one
Sweet🎉
Ford Granadas are your straight across brake mounts for disc brakes for Nada lol most came with decent systems
Cranked right up…bro what’s that tool you used to flare the brake lines? Does it work on different size tubings?
10 bucks for a rad good or bad is a deal 😂
look at the rear brakes again . The self adjusting cable is not centered and seated on the spring pin . The outer spring is not seated on the pin either . May cause a problem later ...
Thanks Martin I will take a closer look !
It appears that the shoe guide (anchor pin) is missing at the top or the rear brake shoes.
Hey Omar can you suggest where to go to look for alternator and p/s brackets for my 68’ 390 build? It’s going in a Galaxie but can’t find brackets. Thanks.. love your comet btw ✌🏼
It can be hard to find all the pulleys and brackets, on my 428FE I’ll be going to a CVF single belt set up.
What flare tool you using? I need to snag one and have been looking at a bunch of them. Need one for brake lines and up to 1/2" for a different thing.

Nice! I had a 1964 Comet Caliente back in the late 1980's. Check out my 1964 Falcon on my channel. Just got it this spring.
