<VV> I must have upset the Corvair Gods

[N. Joseph Potts]

I have experienced knock as a consequence of the sudden leaning-out of a
carburetor as a consequence of foreign material somewhere inside the
carburetor (typically downstream of the filter). Look for a clog somewhere
around the jet.

Last week I went out and started up my 63 Monza Convertible.  I hadn't
started
it since early last fall.  Made a heck of a racket.....Bad Blower bearing.
Not a problem for  I keep extra housings and gaskets around for most Items.
I
took and backed her into the garage and up on ramps then went to work.  Well
today I finally got her all back together and fired her up.  Started right
up......Blower bearing nice and quiet, but now she has developed a knock.  I
thought maybe I put something together wrong so I tore her all back apart to
take a look, but I didn't see anything out of place.  Any Ideas?
