    hello to everyone, I am an old timer when it comes to Comets, I have one that I bought new in June of 71 as soon as I graduated high school. Now that the kids are grown i want to restore it and show it!! Its a 302 and in 71 I changed the tranny from a 3 speed to a top loader 4 speed. Thats the only mod that was ever done to it.Any and all advise will be appreciated, since parts are hard to find in Georgia.
