[NoVa-Corvairs] This Saturday's Meeting

[Puglisi, Michael]

Hi All,

PLEASE REMEMBER THAT SATURDAY'S MEETING IS AT MY HOUSE IN KENSINGTON,
NOT MY FOLKS HOUSE WHERE WE'VE MET THE LAST 2 TIMES!
See the newsletter for address/directions.

The agenda for Saturday morning is to try to figure out my electrical
problem(s).  The car quickly drains the battery for some reason, as a
few of you witnessed last month at Darrin's.  I have no electrical tools
or supplies of any kind (no wire or anything).  Can someone please bring
the things we'll need to diagnose/fix?  

I think the car also needs some tuning.  Its not running as well as it
did a few months ago.  I'm not sure what caused that.  Last year (about
50 miles ago) we replaced the plugs, plug wires, cap, rotor, and points.
Darrin and I rebuilt the carbs around the same time.  We never checked
the timing with a light so I'd like to do that if someone can bring a
light.  I'd also like to do a compression check since I've never done
that.  Can someone bring that tool (meter)?  If anyone has any other
ideas for tuning (balancing carbs?) I'm interested.  Just please bring
the necessary tools.  I do have a full set of wrenches, sockets, and
screwdrivers.

Remember that the Rockville car show will be held Saturday.  We could
caravan over there after the meeting if anyone wants.  Its about 10-15
minutes away from my place.

Hope to see you Saturday morning.  Thanks.
