I use CV axle joint grease. A CV joint does about the same thing a CV joint does and the grease is thin enough to lube the ball bearings and thick enough not to leak out.

Put the long retainer on the firewall at the front of the engine first. The two ends should meet together just to the left of the oil filter. It will take several attempts to get it right so don't get discouraged. Just swear and start over.

I use the spring ring battery cables so it is faster to disconnect the battery.

What concerns me is that if this happens again I may not get a GEN Fan light. I know my overheat switch works though. I recently replaced the voltage regulator and it seems to be working normally with a steady 14 volts and no battery drain.

Yesterday after a 25 mile trip I was one mile from home when I noticed the temp press light came on. Since it was mostly downhill the rest of the way I turned the ignition off and coasted the rest of the way home. After turning the switch off, the temp light went off but the gen fan light came on with the switch off. After arriving home I got out and noticed there was the sound of a motor running

The pinion shaft that attaches to the pinion gear is not meant to be a replaceable part as it comes with the pinion gear. The pinion shaft is the shaft that the spider gears, also called pinion gears, ride on.

I don't think a flare nut wrench will fit in that small space and angle. Use an open end wrench.

The two grey square water seals for the exhaust manifolds will not fit on A.I.R. exhaust manifolds. The only way is to cut them and staple them back together. Anyone else ever run into this?

A piece of flat sheet metal should work just fine. It would follow the contours of the existing structure.

I believe it is to simply hold the gasket in place during assembly on the line.

I found some used ones at California Corvairs. Thank you all for looking. I had no Idea this would be a hard Item to find. Clarks had all the moldings except the rear ends.

Found some used ones. Clarks says they may never get any more. I find this concerning.

Is this event some kind of secret this year? I cannot find anything about it on this site using a search nor in the upcoming events section. I googled it and found out about it. Does anyone know if Clarks will be sending some sales people?

The owners manual says exactly the opposite thing to do using new brakes on a new car.

Clarks has an article about the bed color paint on their web site. They matched the color and offer the formula.
