I have recently received a request through ebay for the purchase of some Corvair carbs and linkage. I am checking to see if anyone is aware of one or more being there and would like to hear from anyone about any business transaction experience with the location? While there are considerable safeguards by using ebay and paypal, would rather avoid that hassle. I would also like to see the owner get his car running if legit. 
Thanks,
Grant Young

It could be that a lifter bleeds down while sitting.? That happens to me once in a while in my '63 convert with a 110.? I think the little hole in the lifter ends up on the bottom and all the oil inside leaks out.? Then, the next day when I start it, it clatters and thumps to beat the band.? Once I pull out and start cruising down the highway it slowly stops ticking/clattering and is then quiet as a church mouse as it has then pumped back up.? It's fine thereafter.

The best method I've found is a trick I learned using the Auto Hobby Shop on the Naval Base in Charleston, S.C. You couldn't check out till all traces that you had been there were GONE. The method they had us use was put down the oil dry(kitty liter) work it around to get up the wet stuff,thin use a thin layer and grind it in with your feet (like doing the twist) after a couple of minutes of doing this ,sweep it up and the oil spot id gone.

As Trey and others have said earlier, the Wheeler Dealers show featuring the rescue of a '63 Monza/Spyder convertible will be repeated tonight at 9:00 p.m. (East Coast). ?Cal Clark is visited in Massachusetts and Edd China does a more objective review of the car than most others, even pointing out the need for lower tire pressure in the front. ?Edd ?(that's how he spells it) really appreciates air cooled engines.
Velocity Channel (Discovery). ?631 on FIOS in the DC area.
