Re: LM Front Speaker Replacement options?
Thanks for the tip Seth. I've been weighing on the options for the under dash mount speaker.

Re: LM Front Speaker Replacement options?
I have been considering a couple different aftermarket Speakers offered by Custom Autosound. It appears that they might work in a Late model Corvair if a single "Stereo" type Speaker is desired. One is listed as a 1966 1967 Nova Dual Voice Coil Dash Speaker With AC. It is a 5" x 7&qu...

Re: Broken Rings, piston and pushrods
I'm with Dave on that piston. It would be just like a valve seat dropping and pieces getting sucked into the other chambers.

Re: Rear engine Rover V8 Parts?
Yes, research isn't a bad idea. Who knows, you might come up with a clever solution. Using a 4.3 V6 also has the appeal of being shorter than a V8.

Re: 140 miss at constant speed only
[/quote] Agree, although I occasionally find a bad vacuum advance unit causing a problem. Point is -- Don't make up your mind until you check everything! I did not notice anyone bring up the rubber couplings at the vacuum balance tube to the carburetor pads. I must admit to forgetting about these an...

Re: shocks and springs 65 Corsa
My experience is only with their newer ones (not the former Red Rider or adjustable Stryder). Part number C2819 and C2820.

Re: shocks and springs 65 Corsa
I installed the Clark's regular shocks in my car (LM coupe and previously in a LM 4 door). Of course, they're great quality and were easy to install. For being the regular (not gas) shocks, they were a bit stiffer than I anticipated but I'm okay with that.

Re: 140 miss at constant speed only
Maybe it's the vacuum advance acting up? It's free to test at least! If you're pulling the drivetrain anyway, taking that head and checking is probably a good idea, and it's definitely not out of the question that it could be the problem.

Re: RR Block Listed on e-bay at the moment.
I just can't picture myself lifting the lid to show someone my crankcase suffix. I'm more the type to pick a 95 PG crankcase for a race engine because it probably had an easy life. To each his own I guess. I should be happy whenever Corvair stuff is valuable. Jim Brandberg Jim, I agree with you! I ...

Re: When Valves Don't Measure Up Part 2
I've pulled heads apart where the grooves in the valve for the keeper were almost worn through. Is that common? That would make the valve spring installed height keep getting bigger until it dropped. Yikes! That might be a problem. Was this on valves with the multiple grooves or the single groove o...

Re: New Fuel Injection Build
What a great video!! Every single person who has gone through an initial startup has said the same thing, and it is such a great feeling when it fires and runs!! Nice job!! No doubt about that! As far as using Holley jets for the PCV, I feel like I've seen people do that (maybe even epoxying and ta...

Re: Clarks front shock absorbers
I have Clark's shocks all around, but the regular version, not the gas. They're good shocks and installation was a snap. They are firmer than I expected so it makes me wonder how much firmer the gas version is?
