If it's an ADF or one of the variants, it is a 70's carb. You will find a lot of them on Fiats and such. Not a bad set, lots of configuration and...
That's too bad. It's always worth hoping for an obvious fix. I didn't see your part number listed, but here is a site I found that does PCB...
It really doesn't look like the internals are too awful complicated. I would grab a multimeter and just chase it point by point. However it may...
Check with Corsa (Corvair Club) there will be a link to a club nearby. I would bet good money there is someone relatively nearby that handles...
16 thou should put your right on the money. Seems to be a default for V8 number for a lot of years and motors.
The one I rebuilt, I used basic hand tools. The only thing was mine had the oddball clutch head screws in it. So I ground up a flathead to make it...
Yep, low gear is a band and high gear is a series of plates, IIRC (Forgive me, been a decade since I tore one, and the only one, down). Try and...
I know this goes against the traditional grain, but part of me thinks that if the V6 i running and in ok shape right now, I would just put it back...
I wouldn't worry about it if you were in middle of nowhere Kansas. Some place far and away from traffic jams. But not so sure about San Diego or...
Not much to know really. The plate in the center is for calibration. The clear tube should have a small plastic piece that moves upwards with...
:eek: I bet that made your heart jump. I can't wait to see a video of v2.0. Just keep that compression a bit lower. ;)
Let me start by saying I am a lazy-ass. But I would first check under the truck before you pull anything. Make sure the cover isn't hitting or...
You know, it might be easier to use something like a lawnmower engine for testing. They are cheap, you can cut them up, and their simplicity means...
Here is a patent from '57...
Yeah rush never does really end in L.A. But after 9 am and probably before 2, it's not too awful bad. Not much worse than the one-way streets in...
Hell if it does have a bellhousing mount, motor mount and trans tail mount. What's to say that the original mounts weren't all shot out when the...
Motor mounts allow for some movement, so while it may be straight as far as bolting to the motor, that does not equate that it is at a proper...
I like Oceanside, but if you are in the mood for famous, I would do either Santa Monica, or Venice. It screams L.A. and the movies. Plus Santa...
I will be doing this to my '59 in the near future. The cab has taken a hit in its past and the spot welds holding together failed. And while I...
I am going to go a bit against the grain here. I never locked my convertibles. Ever. Here is my reasoning. If they want in the car, they are...
Yep, no synchos on first gear. However around 8-12 MPH you can get it in there. But you have to hit it just right. I rarely was able, so I tended...
pennylane, Something that may help all of us. Since there are a lot of things that can cause overheating, or at least the appearance of...
Something to think about, it's been terrible hot out this way for the last week or so. How far up are you filling the radiator? If you have been...
Here is something I stumbled on tonight while watching TED. http://www.afrigadget.com/ While not hot rodding site, I think this site shows...
I recently was watching the BBC documentary Requiem for Detroit where many of these same topics were covered....
The only thing that *might* be possible is to find someone in an unincorporated place like Norco or something that will lend you some storage...
That really sucks. So far where we live they leave us alone, but it is really only a matter of time. And really for everyone griping about...
Welcome from over in Perris.
I would say VW's or any other 60's "economy" car. The Falcon, Valiant, Ramblers, etc are not high dollar car in many cases. There were plenty...
bump for the afternoon crowd.
