<VV> Unfamiliar noises from engine compartment

When she is down off the jack stands and operable. It is up to you how 
"operable" to leave Group Red.  LOL!However, this is just my opinion., You 
really have to ask the Group Redmeister.

Subject: <VV> Unfamiliar noises from engine compartment


Last weekend, I had some unfamiliar noises coming the engine compartment. 
Something that hasn't been heard back there for over 25 years,  a running 
turbocharged Corvair engine!  After numerous minor battles and with a lot of 
help both online and off (thanks to all), I finally have a running engine. 
In fact, I have even driven it down our residential street a few times.  I 
can't go further than that because I have been sitting on the spare tire 
with a gas can strapped to the hood (the tank isn't done yet) and I have no 
lights or mirrors.  It's still fun just the same.

For those who don't know, I bought this 62 Spyder around 2 years ago with 
the complete engine in several boxes along with many brand new parts 
purchased in 1979  (including totally new exhaust from the logs to the 
chrome tip, still in the wrappers).  It was an interesting puzzle that my 
son (16) and I have enjoyed and are really excited about the next 
step...bodywork...and driving.

By the way, what are the qualifications to exit Group Red; street legal, 
safe and licensed or simply driveable?

Just thought you would like to know.

62 Spyder Coupe - ugly, but driving
63 Monza Vert - distant project or parts car?
