The big valve heads flow 50% more than the 110 heads.

I've noticed over the years different needle/seat heights at the float tab during rebuilds. Not as exaggerated as your "closed shut", but it takes a careful eye to make sure the tab is bent to work the needle smoothly or you end up with occasional flooding problems.2LZ wrote: ↑Thu Apr 04, 2024 8:42 amThanks! One other thing I forgot to mention is that BOTH secondary carbs had the floats adjusted down to zero and the needles were completely closed off. Once I replaced the needles and seats, it took a lot of tab bending to get then back into Bob Helt's specs in his book. I guess this was the easy trick to turn it into a 110???
Good point. I'm already in there and have the parts. The car show isn't until July. No hurry. I keep telling myself "Ok....you can stop digging now.".....then....then....joelsplace wrote: ↑Thu Apr 11, 2024 7:46 am On your leaky o-ring question:
I bought a Spyder that had been sitting for decades with no leaks. Once I fired it up and it got hot there were leaks everywhere. I think after sitting long enough the external oil dries up.
Sometimes those that installed replacement hangers would cut a slot in the bracket so removing everything would not be needed the next time the bracket needed replaced....It's a small chance but worth trying to simply loosen the nut on the stud and see if the bracket happens to slid out......2LZ wrote: ↑Thu Apr 11, 2024 1:17 pm Dropped the exhaust today. Fell right off with some PB Blaster soaking.
I see removing the old rotted hangers is going to be a chore. I've read the right side actually mounts to the coil stud behind the sheet metal?????? Haven't given the driver side a good look yet. This is really starting to look like some generic mounts or plumbers tape me be in order for the new Dynamax setup.
That's what I ended up doing on the passenger side today. The driver side is still hanging in the balance, till tomorrow. The bolts are soaking.joelsplace wrote: ↑Thu Apr 11, 2024 7:50 pm I remove the stud instead of taking the sheet metal apart.
The passenger side had one hanger on the muffler and the mount at the J-pipe. The driver side had a pair of straps on the muffler. I'm so used to "car length" exhaust, it was just odd to me what huge plates the Corvair uses, held down by multiple big bolts in hidden places. Since the exhaust swings from the moving engine and is supposed to move, one would think some simple hooks with rubber donuts would suffice.Dennis66 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 12, 2024 4:43 am I seem to recall that with dual exhaust, the stock hanger system was inadequate. You have the hanger bracket at the rear of the muffler, and only the manifold clamp for the front. With the single, you have two manifold clamps and the leverage of the cross pipe. It's been a long time, but I do seem to recall having to tighten the duals on my old '62 coupe. Dennis
