Im installing a factory rear speaker in my 65 coupe. Clarks cardboard has
the speaker cutout on the passenger side rear (quite smaller than correct
speaker). The factory insulation is "perforated: for a speaker in the
center. Anyone what is correct?

Kevin,
My '65 Corsa has/had the factory rear speaker option, but the speaker was
located in a metal, louvered mount in the middle of the rear package shelf.
My original '68 Monza with factory AM/FM radio and rear speaker had the
speaker mounted on a separate upper cardboard piece that covered the whole
back shelf and located the rear speaker in the right (passenger side)
corner
of the shelf.

Hi all, I need some help with aftermarket A/C compressor.? I am working on a
65
with air and the compressor is leaking on the back portion of the
compressor.?
The part that has 4 studs holding it in place with nuts.? The owner wants to
replace it with the A6 type compressor, and I find that Car Quest has one in
stock that is supposed to work, according to their parts book?.?This is not
true?information at times.?I know that the Corvair turns in the opposite and
I
have heard rumors that this generic compressor will work.? I don't know the
internal workings of a compressor and dont know what would happen if it was
used.? Can anyone help me out on this?? The owner is a 11 grade student and
has
just bought her first Corvair.? She loves it.? I want the repair to be done
right.?

it has been said that silicone fluid is a NO NO in ABS brake systems
because of it's different compressibility? i am sure there is more about it
online.
check with your N A P A / flaps , that came up just as i retired from the
business in the early 90's.
they made a big safety issue over it.
also , i do not add it to a Corvair , without a total rebuild , or at least
a total flush of the system with brake clean and air. better off redoing
it correctly the first time though.

i found a chrome plated clock in a fancy earlier Jeep Wagon in a junkyard
many years ago , that looked exactly like factory GM units. i put it in a
convertible i no longer own. so keep a sharp eye in your junkyard walks.
this one did say "jeep" on the face , but i took it apart and black
markered over it. you had to really look to see it. i think it shows up in
some
of the pictures of my old yellow spyder convert...

Is this one of those cast model Corvair convertibles? I thought they were
all 69's. On the other hand, I've bought some of those "it ran when I parked
it 30 years ago" Corvairs and the owners didn't charge any extra for the
mice and nests...maybe that's what he meant...LOL!!!
To get rid of your mice problem...you gotta pay the Pied Piper.

Kevin - The 65 had no provision for Stereo speakers, because there was no
true stereo radio option. The AM radio was, of course, mono. They offered a
rear speaker option with the AM radio - and the mono-AM-FM radio. That
option used a ring around one of the knobs to fade between the front
speaker in
the middle of the grille, and the single rear speaker - mounted on a
bracket in the middle of the package shelf. In 1965 GM offered an ultra
rare
almost-stereo option (dealer only, I believe) - really, I guess
"bi-naural".
It mounted a stereo adapter under the dash which had a plug into the bottom
of the radio. It added some controls on it's faceplate including what was
really a balance control between the two channels. One channel was fed back
into the radio and out to the front speaker, the other was amped in the
adapter and sent to the rear speaker. SO that was "sort-of-stereo". In 1966
the dealer option added another control on the adapter, giving the output -
now to four speakers - a left-right balance and a front-rear fader control.
This added the "Ugliest speakers ever" option where the dealer would slice
into the door and the door panel to mount the front speakers and (in a
coupe) add the new rear speaker shelf - now with the speakers offset left
and
right to gave a stereo separation effect. When only the front-rear fader
option was taken on the 66-up, they used the passenger side hole and mount,
and of course the original center mount front speaker. One other peculiar
note. In the 66-up 4-speakers systems -and in the equivalent systems in the
other GM cars, the rear speakers carried the other side signal - The
left-rear and the right-front had the right-side Stereo track, the
right-rear and
the left-front had the left side stereo track. This was intended to provide
a stereo effect anywhere you sat in the car. (I feel a sudden disturbance
in the force, like dozens of audiophiles are jumping off of cliffs!) I
installed a complete factory AM-FM Stereo system into a 66 Corsa - about 40
years ago. I reversed the rears as the instructions said - but I really
didn't
notice much of a difference. You have the option, of course to put the
speaker any place you want it. If the package shelf already has the cutout
in
the right rear - and yes those 66 speakers were smaller than the 65s, as I
recall - go ahead and put it there. If it has to be located in the middle
because a Concours judge would go apoplectic and keel over during the show,
get another shelf. I don't think you will hear much of a difference in
placement, especially if you have decent mufflers on the motor. <grin> -
Have
fun with it!
