() Date: November 22, 2022 05:50PM You are talking about a Crown TURBO Exhaust Housing. Correct?

() Date: November 22, 2022 10:22PM I believe the exhaust packing was the same for 1964-66, even though the exhaust wheel changed for 65. That means either the early Crown exhaust housing or the late housing will fit your exhaust pipe - But you will have to specify which exhaust wheel you have in the turbo. Either the 64 or the 65-66. The housing has to match that, as well as the outlet pipe flange. Sometimes the turbos are referred to as the B-flow (62-64) or the F-flow (65-66). But that only indicates the inlet compressor size. (And it has been almost 60 years! Good luck. Seth Emerson Check my new Performance Corvair Web site: [www.perfvair.com] Located in lovely San Jose, California Re: WTB Crown exhaust housing Posted by:

Hello all: Jim Vickers used to do the cut/re-weld but I haven't seen or heard that name in quite a while. Maybe others too but Jim is the only one I recall. best wishes, Steve Rear Engine Spec. Inc.
