Front Air Grill

I have a number of trees on my property and the leaves keep getting in the air duct. Is there a grill I can put in or on the front air grill to reduce the build up?
Any Help would be greatly appreciated. Larry

Removal of Rear Grill

I am in the process of painting my 65 Corsa and want information on how to remove the grill behind the rear window. I found some information on removing it on a coupe but not a convertible. Any ticks I should know? Do I have to remove the rear part of the top?
Any help would be appreciated. Larry

Aluminum Cleaner

I have a cold water pressure washer and need to clean the heat exchanger and other aluminum parts with the engine in the car. What have you guys used in your cars. I searched this site and read Motohead's post. Has anyone one tried anything different. Larry

Re: Nash Fan is here!

I was wondering how much noise the Nash Fan makes as compared to the stock fan on my 65.

Re: Grinding Noise

found it. The nut on the alternator came loose allowing the fan and pulley to slip. It was a two piece fan and pulley I replaced it with a one piece fan and pulley. Thanks

Grinding Noise

Periodically I get a grinding noise on my 65 Corsa. It seems to happen when I start to accelerate with the clutch in or out. It appears to come from the top of the engine. Can the fan get off center and hit he turkey roaster? Is there a particular bearing that can cause the problem? At this point I ...

Re: Float Assist Spring

The problem is with the spring but I can't see anything wrong with it. I tried two different springs with two different floats. Same flooding. I tried removing with one of the floats and not more flooding. I did not look at the spring hole with a magnifying but that could be the problem. I got it al...

Re: Float Assist Spring

Both floats I tried did not leak nor was there any wear in the small hole that the spring fits in. the tension spring is resting on the body of the seat not the top. All pieces of the carb are in place. The only thing I changed was removing the tension spring and that stopped the flooding. I am goin...
