Hi everyone,
I'm new to this forum and just recently got my 64 convertible back on the road. I have watched this list for a few days and am glad to know there is a wealth of knowledge out there regarding Corvairs.
I hope as time goes by and as I get deeper into my car, I'll be able to share my experiences and knowledge as well.
My son was visiting and we took the Vair out for a spin last night and after pulling into the garage my son said, "Wow this bumper is really hot!". I reached down and touched it and he was right. You couldn't hold a hand on it for more than a couple seconds. Very hot to the touch. This doesn't seem normal. I don't seem to remember this being the case the last time I had it running (2002). I looked at the dampers and they were open, at least 90%. They could have been directing some of the heat upward toward the bumper.
Any thoughts?
Regards,
