Have a question about push rod hole orientation. In the shop manual it says ’note: the side .050 oil hole in each push rod must be installed up...’ but the picture shows them pointing down(?) Should the holes be orientated up vertically (towards the carb) or down (towards the exhaust manifold)? Than...

At the Corvaircenter forum there have been many discussion on the EM rear wheel bearings. Things to keep in mind. Some say the 64 cars had a shim between the bearing housing and backing plate - NOT CONFIRMED. For years folks would just pull a bad axle and put in another used one. The riveted sheet ...

http://corvaircenter.com/phorum/read.php?1,660053,660134#msg-660134 Thanks, what Frank Duval wrote helps a lot :) ’’The 63 and 64 cars use a cast iron bearing housing instead of the two part stamped steel housing. Cleaning these properly without fully taking them apart is not a good idea, since you...

Hi there, i’ve been trying to find out/google if there is some ’easy way’ to re-grease my 1964 rear axle bearing... i can’t find anything apart from a couple of sites mention ’remove c-clip’. I can’t find any info about this c-clip Can these bearings be repacked without taking them off and out? Davi...

I have ran them for years with no ill effects and actually prefer them in my 140 as the acceleration is a lot better than the stock flywheel, I have never broken a crank shaft, but have worn a few of the flywheels out, I have 3 more NOS Harvey Aluminum's waiting for use, there were a lot of EM ones...

Thanks for the info Marty and 66vairguy :)

Hi there, i’ve just recently been given a 9’’ Harvey Aluminium flywheel by a person that said it’s for a corvair. I’ve tried to google info but with no luck. Can this be correct that it’ll work with a corvair? He said it will improve acceleration/performance... https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171...

Hearing is worth a thousand words. If your car is set at optimum ignition timing, with a sharpie mark a line from the dist. base to the rear housing. Loosen dist., start engine and rotate dist. ccw about 3/8" on your mark. Take a SHORT drive up the street and accelerate with half throttle to a...

I’ve heard quite a few times mentioned ’pinging’... what is this exactly?

Hi there, first time posting on the forum with a question... i have a 1964 Monza, 110 hp with a 4 speed gearbox. Planning on dropping the whole engine and transmission out of my monza soon. Using a transmission jack and think it would be a good idea to know where the ’mid point of balance’ would be ...
