Gonna buy me a Mercury.

Nice Furd LOL. There are a few forms out there the one I suggest one called The Ford Falcon News even thought you have a Comet. The information you need will be motor and trans. related, just scroll through the site you will come across the info your looking for.
Or PM me my second love is my Falcon next to my Dart, I just rebuilt a C4 Trans. and now rebuilding a 289 Hi Po. for a customer.

Thanks for the heads up on the forum, I will pass that along to the wife. I intend for her to do the research, ask the questions, get the answers etc.

She will be tasked with finding the parts while trying to work within a budget. Hopefully it will give her some insight as to what I go through trying to put my car together. :D
