Well I'm a newbie, but looking forward to help, comments, and thoughts as I bring my 73 x19 2.0 back to life. It is Phoenix Red, and I am the original owner, well my dad was, but it was always his and my car. I drove the car to my senior prom in 1974.
Dad passed a few years ago, and I finally freed up the time to get started refurbishing it this winter. This is an original California car has been in storage since 1993. I got it out of storage last month after making room in my shop, and am beginning to take it apart. I will post pictures as I go and keep a running blog going so all of you guys (and gals) can keep me from messing anything up. I want to do it right.

Oh, and the rubber cooling flap on that side is mounted upside-down. The edge needs to point downward for it to work properly.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) You have a VERY good eye Andy. I was wondering about the flaps. One is mounted flush with the underbody and curved down...Which pushes air away from the engine. The other has two inch bolts exposed and hanging down from the underbody with the flap mounted between the bolt head and another nut. This flap is curved up so that the air comes in the two inch gap and is then directed up into the engine. This actually looks like it would work better, but I was pretty sure that it was the one that wasn't the original design. How does the one that pushes air away from the engine actually cool it? Some kind of low pressure drawing it away? |
