Carb booping noise on one side when cruising on the hiway or sometimes when i am starting the car, i check my ignition everything is good timing is good compression is good ....there is no garage over here that know about corvair ???? its a 1966 monza 110 2 carbs its like a feeling of power lost or fuel that cut I don't know its wierd it make like a boop noise like its the spund of air in the carb

Is it clogged? When is the last time the fuel filters were changed? The little copper ones that go directly into the carbs. Sometimes it's a small fix.

They have been change i rebuild the 2 carbs last years ????

Vacuum leaks? Where are you located? If within 50 miles of me I will stop on by.

Hard to tell from your description.

A "plugged" fuel filter will result in poor running from idle on.

A piece of girt in the idle tube will result in poor idle, but run fine once fuel delivery switches to the jet (30 - 35+ mph in my case - feeble memory?)

A piece of grit / dirt in the jet - memory cannot retrieve the specifics.

Is it running lean on that one side?

Earlier post state New Brunswick Canada.

Pics of your engine compartment could help immensely.

I live in shediac close to moncton in Canada

This is my engine if it can help ????

On that side there is something loose so one carb open before the other one a little bit but people say its not suppose to do that boop noise in the carb tell me if its true haha

The carbs are supposed to open at the same time.

Instructions on balancing the carbs is in the65 shop manual - and probably places online - Matt Nall has a video?

A number of things are "wrong":

The lever on the passenger side carb throttle shaft is not stock - possibly part of your problem. Better if you can find stock levers.

The balance tube is missing across the front of the engine

Engine shrouds and seal are missing.

Heater hose behind passenger side carb???

Not sure where hose from PCV tube goes - base of passenger side carb?

Early fan - so not sure year of engine?

The choke pull offs (plastic cans) should go to the horizontal ports on the carburetors. The distributor vacuum advance goes to vertical port on the pass carb. You have a driver side head on the passenger side. The large ports on the carb pads should both point forward (front of car) and be joined w a balance tube. I think a plug can be knocked and the port moved though I have not done it before. Good luck! Ken

Several things in your engine pics make me wonder if you have a turbo engine. No choke rods showing/no ports for the balance tube hoses/the turbo upper PCV tube/plus as noted by KenHenry the choke pulloff hoses are on wrong carb ports which means to me the vac advance hose is also connected to the wrong carb port.

To continue you have no cooling tin on the engine and obviously the ground is visible around the engine. This makes the engine run at higher temps. You should not be able to see the ground while looking down from the top. The purpose of the sealing from top to bottom is to ensure that engine cooling air is drawn into the top of the engine through the grill behind your rear window and pushed downward then out the bottom of the engine. With no seperation the heat from the muffler as well as the heat being pushed downward is allowed to recirculate back the the fan again. You are trying to cool the engine with hot air.

Possibly your ignitor ignition is at fault or will be because it doesn't like the higher temps either. Mounting the coil to the engine makes it operate at higher temps.

Sorry because it is easy for all of us to find fault with someones' car and that is not my intent. You need to find club members or other owners around you for some help. I realize you are in Canada but there are numerous members here in Canada. I see two CORSA members in New Brunswick in the roster. Good luck getting the details worked out.

Thanks guys i both it like that last years hahah but its good to know the ting that is wrong ????

One thing you can do for troubleshooting is feel the engine with your hand on both sides to see if both sides are warm. With dual exhaust you can feel the air coming out to see if they're both the same temperature. If one side isn't making any power it won't make any heat.
Another way to feel is to accelerate it a bit with one hand and put the palm of your other hand over one carburetor at a time. If sealing off a carburetor doesn't change the way the engine is running that side of the engine isn't making any power.
I don't understand what a "boop" is but firing up through the carburetor may indicate a lean condition.

That looks like it may be an Early engine rather than a 66 110 HP as evidenced by the steel fan and solid crankshaft pulley.
The engine number is down in the valley under where your fuel pressure regulator is. The last 2 letters mean something, something like "RD" or "YC" or maybe just one letter like "Z"...
Perhaps more telling is the head number. The number is vertical on the rear of the right head and the front of the left head It's a 7 digit number, something like "3813xxx" or 3856xxx"... It may be hidden under the small corner shroud.
Also important is the correct distributor for the engine. That number is on the outside of the distributor body just clockwise from the vacuum advance bracket. It's next to the idler pulley on yours. It's a 7 digit number something like "1110272" or 1110319"...
