Re: Mystery Brown wire

Sweet. Thank you very much. I knew about the 4-plug for the regulator, I put the jumper plug on it. Couldn't figure out the brown wire. I have no deck lid on it right now, so that makes perfect sense.

Much appreciated!

Mystery Brown wire

I've looked through a bunch of diagrams, but there's a few brown wires in the engine harness and I'm confused. This brown wire with a connector on it (and Clark's harness tag). Where does it go? I'm using the Clark's Alternator upgrade kit and Seth's Stinger distributor/coil, so my stuff isn't stand...

Re: County98's Learn as I Go Thread

Next project of the day was the perimeter seal. I had to stall on this one until I could find what box the retainer strips were in. I had forgotten all about them. Looked like crap, rusty and bent to hell. I was also missing a couple top hat screws and had a couple more stripped. I just replaced one...

Re: County98's Learn as I Go Thread

Finally got around to knocking out some more work today. Moved the clutch fork to tuck in the springs on the fingers and hooked the pivot under the little nub retainer. Next I made some guide pins. Got the idea from here I think. Got a few 6" x 3/8 coarse thread screws and cut the heads off the...

Re: County98's Learn as I Go Thread

Thanks for the answers guys, MUCH appreciated!

I'll get some cooler plates, and cover the smog hole, good catch.

Yup, had clutch fork fingers in the wrong place. So just slide it all together? Nothing fancy about it?

Re: Removing corsa 6 hole dash

Maybe oil pressure line? Did you remove the 2 screws in the upper of the tach and speedo bezels?

Mating transaxle

SO, I had my motor built by Bob Coffin, to include the clutch plate, etc. This is what I have on that end. Bellhousing.jpg After the fact, I went back and got a 3.55 posi from him, but was after the motor shipped. Does the clutch fork look to be in the correct position? Clutch Fork.jpg Transaxle.jpg...

Need some help...

Even if I don't have everything bolted onto it, I'm tired of the powerpack sitting in my way. Started putting it all together, but have a bunch of questions.... I got all the tins secured with mostly new hardware, but whomever decided a half dozen different sized bolts into a dozen pieces of tin was...

Thanks John! I got sidetracked halfway through that project and decided I was tired of walking around the motor and transaxle sitting in my way, lol.

Re: bucket seat

"Easy" is kind of open to interpretation, lol. Corvairs have pretty flat floors, so quite a few options. A Google search will turn up a lot of forum writeups to help you out. Good luck!

Re: County98's Learn as I Go Thread

Starting on the shifting situation. I had taken apart and cleaned up the actual shifter a long time ago, but decided to pop it apart, and re-clean and grease it. Pieces and shims. Have a couple new shim pieces from Clark's, and all the factory chunks. THEORETICALLY, I should be able to reassemble th...

Re: County98's Learn as I Go Thread

Thanks bud, I'll take a look. My trans crossmember is still sitting on the floor bolted to the trans.

What about where it seems to chafe at that weird angle? Any advice on that sir?

Re: County98's Learn as I Go Thread

Got both routed to the back of the car. Basic, but there's a couple odd things. Emergency cable has only 2 guides up under the tunnel. Don't seem to be in grommets, so seems odd that they would have a chafing opportunity riding in the steel loops. Guides.jpg Rear one is weird, so someone help me out...

Re: County98's Learn as I Go Thread

Cockpit side of routing. This stuff is pretty easy, but visuals are always good if you've never messed with it, so here they are. Ball of emer brake cable slips into it's socket and runs straight back to top pulley on front wall. Make sure it runs straight and not rubbing on any of the steering supp...

Re: County98's Learn as I Go Thread

Got my cables in yesterday, so thought I would show a couple things before I get started on the replacements. I was wondering why shipping was more expensive on these, I guess I never really looked at what the back end of the clutch cable looked like. Clarks shipped them out in a long tube, which wa...

Re: County98's Learn as I Go Thread

I didn't know that about the Pulse LEDs, that interesting. The analog dimmables should work off a rheostat though. I know Superbright sells some for RVs and whatnot that are advertised as map and instrument lights, but never tried them. I have a LED gauge cluster in my '69 pickup that dims according...
