[NoVa-Corvairs] Aug. Meeting

[rvtum at verizon.net]

Curt,

Since it will probably require more than one visit to help this gentleman, I would be willing to take a Sunday this weekend or next to try and get a headstart on some of the work before the 18th. Anyone willing to join me?  

Curt - How would Oren feel about a Sunday visit?

>First make a note that Oren's trailer slot is #47.  It is in the lower

>I talked to Oren Rose last night.  He had more details about his

>Two bent push rods were replaced but the rockers were never fully
>adjusted so if the car does get started they may need immediate
>attention.  When Oren's brother tried to start the car after he put in
>the new push rods he could not get any gas to the carburetors which had
>been rebuilt.  He then installed a new fuel pump but still could not get
>fuel to the carbs.  From looking at the fuel pump I don't believe it is
>the correct pump as it has an extra discharge port on it going nowhere. 
>Anyway, if some one does have a used but good fuel pump maybe you can
>bring it with you.  However, I would not try to suck gasoline out of the
>tank for a number of reasons.  Maybe with a nipple and a rubber tube you
>could suck gas out of a can.
>
>Don't forget the car cannot move as the drums are frozen to the shoes.

>Here is what Oren will have at the meeting:  a new battery, jack stands,
>and a floor jack.  He will also soak the wheel lug nuts and studs in
>Liquid Wrench a few times before the meeting.  I believe that someone
>will need to bring a 4# sludge to bang on the brake drums and try to free
>them up from the shoes.
>
>Lastly, as I won't be there someone else should take over the
>coordination with Oren.
