It occurs whenever I drive over the road reflectors. It's a loud banging, on the right side only. Checked the torque arm bushing bolt is tight, the shock mounts are tight and have the rubber on each side, and replaced the 4 strut rod bushings. Any ideas?

Hey Terrible, you solved my issue! There were 2 washers on there, plus my new one. Took out the 2 old ones, and eureka! Thanks very much!

Just installed a new wiring harness and backup light switch, and the backup lights aren't working! The switch has power to it and from it if activated manually, but does not work installed on trans.

Can it be something in the trans broken?

Hi Joelsplace. $100 for the fast steering adapters from Clarks, right? If so, I'll take them. Can you ship priority mail and I'll mail you a check for the mail + arms?

Does anyone know where I can find the 65 quick steering adapter arms? I'm having trouble finding them at my favorite suppliers.

Thanks sooo much Brad and Terribleted. These resources are so helpful in my quest to get my Vair back to normal.

65 Corsa, prior owner removed the PCV valve and plugged the vacuum. There exists a hose to vent as it was before. Should I reinstall the valve?

I did follow the manual, except for the timing after the carb rebuild. I’ll try that tonight.

Thanks!!

It is impossible to balance the primary carbs when the neither idle speed screw is engaged. Any “balanced reading you are seeing is circumstantial). Are you sure the secondaries are fully closed? Did you remove the throttle plates during rebuild, and if you did, did you reinstall them right side up...

I’ve rebuilt all 4 carbs and replaced the spacers and gaskets for each carb. The engine starts and runs ok, but it idles at 1,100. Idle screws are both all the way out. Throttle plates are balanced with a uni sync. I capped off all vacuum lines except the advance hose, which I checked for leaks. The...

Alec, did you have to clean out the box, or just top it off?
