Tru,
By the way, I forgot to tell you that I finally after two years found the problem on the Comet that was causing the gages to not read when it is cold and the motor to shut off when they did. In case you don't remember I posted the question long ago about when it is cold and I first put the key in and turn the switch on, everything would work. Once I started the motor and it ran long enough to get warm I could drive the car. But if I tried to move it while it was still cold the gages would just drop to nothing and the motor would stop as if I had shut it off. I was told to check for a regulator to the gages, there isn't any, and several other things that made sense but never proved out. Then one day while waiting for it to warm up enough to move I touched the key and everything shut off. Turned out the original ignition switch had a very worn point between where you turn it to start and then let it come back to the run position. I got a new switch and had it put in and have never had a problem since. One problem solved in my lifetime.
