Thanks for the update. This will make it easier to locate the proper bracket for my Rampside.

If course, thanks for all of your help on Saturday. One more thing done but another added to the never ending list.

Hi folks,
<br>
<br>During the Saturday meeting we discussed the rear toe adjustment for FCs, and I brought up that the rear bracket is incorrect on Rampy and that is likely throwing off the rear toe. I had the right answer, but the details were a bit fuzzy, so I dug up the e-mail on the subject. Here's the deal:
<br>
<br>The '64 car bracket is not exactly the same as a '64/'65 FC mount - Chevy moved the engine mount bolt back about 3/8" to allow for the balancer + a/c pulley on the cars (there's a photo of the two car mounts in the Corvair Underground catalog) while the FC continued with the '60 style mount (no a/c in an FC). What this means is if the engine was installed with the '64 car bracket you can run out of adjustment for toe, since that's done by moving the engine/trans pack back via shims at the transmission mounting bar. If the engine has a solid pulley the '60 - '63 car engine bracket will work fine, but with a balancer there isn't enough room to change the belt. The '64 or '65 FC bracket is the best fit, as it was made for an FC with a balancer on the engine.
<br>
<br>The other thing to watch out for are the bolts to the trans bracket. The driver's side has a 3/8" "special spacer" (Clark's part # C9387) for the driver's side. This is really nothing more than a really thick washer (3/8" thick).
<br>
<br>--Bryan
