Re: 1958 Edsel Corsair 2 door Hardtop

Re: couple questions about water diverters

that's what I figured once I pulled the cylinder heads off and saw the openings. I was guessing the diverters should be angled towards the heads so the water flow is directly aimed at the cylinder head openings. that sound about right? 8-)

Re: Deck Height

Not to hijack the thread but I'm in the early stages of my engine rebuild and I was wondering if later on, probably mid spring, if my block needs boring, would I be able to join your loan-a-torqueplate program? :D

Re: couple questions about water diverters

couple questions about water diverters

I'm rebuilding the engine for a 58 edsel and got a couple questions.

Falling trunklid problem

My trunklid won't "pop" up like it's supposed to and it barely stays up when put all the way up. a tap is all it takes for it to come slamming down. I adjusted the torsion bolts all the way and it's no better. is there a fix for this?
