Rod knock?

So I started up my car after a couple of months where I hadn’t driven it. Now I know that the lifters bleed down during that time. But even after letting the car warm up and stuff like that, I heard this sound which I think sounds a little like a rod knock but I’m not sure. I don’t see any sort of B...

Re: Fuel pump bolt

So this was in pretty bad shape as well when I got the old pump off. Is this something I can get from my FLAPS. Or can I get it from a local hardware store it just looks like an inlet to the fuel pump that adapts to the flared line and it's my main intake line so I want to go ahead and make sure tha...

Re: Fuel pump bolt

So my fuel pump did spring a leak from the gaskets. So it was running just fine and I could physically see the fuel leaking from the fuel pump so it's not a delivery issue. I did thread the bolt back in to the oil filter housing and it threads fine Sent from my iPhone using Corvair Forum mobile app

Re: 65 vert brakes went out

Brakes are a safety item and shops are paranoid about fixing just one thing and then the car is back for another unrelated leak. Also the guy makes move money "doing it all". I'd suggest asking him to show you were the leak is. If it is the line above the gas tank - well yes the tank has ...

Re: 65 vert brakes went out

So I just got word from the local repair shop here that when they put the power bleeder on it it started to puke break fluid from the front lines that go from the drums to the firewall. I'm assuming that these two lines connected to junction block underneath the brake pedal? When I talk to him and h...
