    1965 Comet
    Hello everyone my name is Justin. I just picked up a 1965 Comet 3 weeks ago for a lump sum of $400. It needs alot of body work and stuff like most cars that havent been touched in over 14 years. It came to me with a running 289 and no brakes. I switched out the old 2 barrel and put on a 4 barrel and decided that brakes were shot. So i decided to put on a set of 1978 granada front disk brakes. I replaced everything and still seem to be having problems. When i went to test drive it the front wheels went were they wanted to and started to make some terrible noise. i replaced the outer tire rods and refilled the power steering fluid. But it seems to do what it wants. Has anyone else came acrossed this problem when they did the granada brake swap or is it something else.

    thanks
    justin
