Ay Phi,

I thought brick's are supposed to be slow!

Welcome. Now the adventure begins.

Many years ago I had a problem like that with my 140. Holding a constant speed or going down a slightly down hill grade.
For me, I solved it by re-synking the secondaries and also reducing the secondary carb jet size.
Craig has good advice also.

I just received my pair of rebuilt Rampside Ramp Alignment bumper-bushings from Steve Spilatro. As with all the FC parts he is making, these are as close to NOS as I believe can be found. One sends him the old bumpers. He removes the old rubber. Cleans and bead blasts the metal frame. Then he someho...

I know coating has been noted as retaining heat. For our FC Bricks, that may not be an issue.
The last set of drums I bought were from NAPA. They came from Canada. But that was 20+ years ago.

To Wittsend. I'm wishing the best for your Son and his condition. I can't imagine. For me it's been just 6 months of pain, discomfort and many sleepless nights avoiding the narcotics and opting for ice packs instead. I'm 69 and this has really been trying my patience. So I can't imagine what your So...

I have been away from this site for quite a while. Lots going on, including a complete new suspension. I put it off long enough. But last year I came to the conclusion that after a crazy year of more than usual traveling, I had to get it done. Sooo. in November I had my Left knee replaced. And then ...

Aa Toss 2017.jpg Again a great year at the Toss. Every space was sold and IECC had to squeeze in a few more. Literally trailers of bins of parts arrived! The music was good. The food at the park and banquet was excellent! :tu: Even getting locked into the porta- pot didn't dampen my enjoyment of th...

Floor mat.jpg Floor Mat2.jpg I just installed one of Steve's Re-Pop FC front floor mats in the Rampside. Check these out in the "Parts For Sale" section here. The detail and quality are excellent. :not worthy: I had the Clarks Gray carpet installed for a year now. It fit and worked just f...

Was a great event again this year!
The location at the transportation museum was super. Lots of easy parking for cars displayed.
I will definitely participate again next year.
Great job South Coast Corsa!

What a great year. Vintage Corsa did a great job with scheduling and setting up this event. I have not seen such a busy Friday afternoon in many years! Saturday was banner. They sold out all the swap spaces. Repositioned the car show up front. Kick-off and banquet parties were both at the Elks. Good...

I need a new kkkkkey boarrrrd!

Have I missed something or has there just been no mentioned here of the 2016 Great Western Fanbelt Toss and Swap meet in Palm Springs this coming weekend? I have my Greenbrier loaded and ready to roll out Friday morning. It's a nice 3 hour drive for me one way. Always look forward to seeing everyone...

That's it!!! My Mother bought that exact looking 63 Black -White-Red dash and carpet Monza in 1963. That one started our Corvair adventure that continues today! Please post more pictures. Is it a 4 speed also?

It's been a while since I posted about the Rampside project. Basically I have been detailing the undercarriage and spending a lot of time with yet another home renovation project. Stripping the popcorn ceilings and repainting throughout was a lot easier 20years ago!!! Then my computer got a virus an...

I'm planning to be there. With one or tah tuther!
