Yup. My red 65 4-dr came with a small ding in the passengers door. After that, she was known as "Ms Dimples" !

Yup. Our Ethanol-free station only dispenses 87 Octane without the 'Corn'...

I've found that it is better to keep the tank FULL than only putting in 2 to 4 gallons at a time. Moisture (re. Ethanol) will accumulate in the void, where the fuel isn't...

Check the PG cable itself to see if the sheath has cracked. Usually right where it goes into tranny...

My crayon box was only 8 colors... ! So I say that is GOLDEN! Looks great!

Also check where the fuel line enters the engine bay from the left rear tire well Is it laying right on the shroud? They get HOT! could almost boil the gas before it gets to the carbs. I spray painted a 1"x2" block of wood the same color as my shroud and wedged it under the line to keep it off the ...

And thank-you hoopermockler, and your club, for sponsoring the 23rd H.O.T. (Heart Of Texas) reunion in Spring Branch his year. Most of the members in my club went (San Antonio's ACCA..Alamo City Corvair Assn..) Heard it was great! Alas, I've had medical problems so could not attend. Don't know which ...

Is your fuel line (From LR tire well to pump) resting on the shroud? HOT. Had that problem a cuppla years ago, and putting a spacer under the line fixed it!

One other possibility is a brake drum that is out of round. Many local auto parts stores can refinish a drum, usually less than $20.00 Bettcha This is it! Had a 60 Valiant that sat for years before I got it. 3 of the 4 Drums were so out-of-round, they almost looked Oval. Having a good machine shop ...

Mine's kinda... Call her 'Ms Penny'' Looks like a shiny 'new' penny in daylight, and an 'old' penny at night!

My 66 Monza has a vent directly below the REAR back window! (The Plenum)

Saw this video awhile back. Am assuming the REAR window trim has to be removed?
Please clarify...

Always wondered this myself. Am following this thread for the "How To". Don't have much debris down there tho, and a powerful vacuum is only so-so..
Called the 'Plenum'. Even googled it hoping Motohead might have a video...
