[FC] BAFFLE PLATES

[James Davis]

Sorry; the original message talked about the engine compartment side rail 
baffles.  Those under the engine lower shrouds next to the push rod tubes 
are affectionately known as cylinder air baffles (and some other 
unprintable names)  and are not found in the assembly manuals.  The 
cylinder air baffles were installed at Tonawanda, NY when the engine 
was  assembled.  Their installation is described in the Corvair engine 
assembly manual and Corvair shop manuals.  The engine compartment baffles 
were installed at the FC assembly plant (St Louis, Willow Run, etc).
