mid 90s grand am seats fit well with little modification. all we had to do was redrill the mounting holes and use stock corvair slides.

my dad bought a pair of power/heated leather seats out of a 07 pontiac G6 we will soon be mounting.

GABRIEL 81096 Front Shock Absorber
Guardian Shock

2013- LM shocks from Autozone.
The fronts bolted right up, and all I had to do to the rears was press out the original mounting tube from the old shock and put it into the new one. It was easy and I did it with just a vise and a couple of sockets.

The part number for the front shocks is 82109... Gabriel Shock $19.99 each
The part number for the rear shocks is 69606... Gabriel Shock $27.99 each


Koni shock list that should work for a LM

For the FRONT, part number: 343161 Which is a KONI part number for the
following.
R Ford Fairmont All 1978-81
R Ford Mustang All 1979-81
R Mercury Capri All 1979-81
R Mercury Zephyr All 1978-81

For the REAR, part number: 344098 Which is a KONI part number for the
following.
F Daihatsu Truck Rocky All 1990-92
F Honda Truck Passport All 1994-96
F Isuzu Truck (4WD) All 1988-97
F Mazda Truck (2WD) All 1986-93

F Opel GT All 1969-73

Tires: Tires should be around 24.5 - 25 inches for late models, can be a bit shorter for earlies and earlies need to keep closer to stock widths than late models do unless you have rims with custom Backspacing (amount of inches from mounting plate to inner rim bead)

Good radial tire pressure for starts should be around 23 front, 32 rear. The rough equation to figure out what the “load” pressure “should” be based on a specific tire’s load capacity per PSI is as follows (figured to a 2,700 pound load)


MAX TIRE LOAD = Xlbs per PSI.
MAX PSI

FRONT Equation:

540
Xlbs per PSI

: this number is “optimum” PSI for your specific tire based on the weight on that corner of the front of the car

REAR Equation

810
Xlbs per PSI

: this number is “optimum” PSI for your specific tire based on the weight on that corner of the rear of the car


185/80-13's are great for 65-69 (LM) but are almost impossible to find.
175/80-13 would be acceptable for an EM (60-64) or LM
185/70-13 would also work for both EM and LM

195/70-14 will work for LM but might be a bit tall for an EM.
185/70-14 would be more apt to work on an EM (and would probably work for an LM)

205/60-15 will work on an LM stock height with roughly 4 1/2" B.S.
215/55-15 should work with roughly the same backspacing and should be a bit shorter than a 205/60. I could see it working alright with a lowered LM.
215/50-15 would probably work on an EM with the right backspacing. would be technically too short for a LM.


Spark Plugs:
Gapped to .035 as a general rule.

You can also use Google... a better search engine

cnicol posted this:

Try using google instead.

For example enter this in a google search box:

valve adjust site:corvaircenter.com

Format: [your term or words] site:corvaircenter.com

This yields more answers because google is more flexible on search words.

The best way to search here is to go to google and type

site:corvaircenter.com

in addition to your search terms. It works several orders of magnitude better than the Phorum built-in search.

I would replace the search here with a google custom search if I was king.

Courtesy of Clarks Corvair






Chevrolet made available lots of completer engines and engine parts for
service. If you will take a glance at Group 0.000 in your favorite Corvair
Parts book, you will see listed some almost complete replacement engines
available back then from your Chevrolet dealer. Also if will look at some of the

preceeding pages you will motoce instructions for modifying and completing
these engines for Corvair applications. These are the engines that
received a code "like" XX and XXZ. Please see my book THE CLASSIC CORVAIR for
a
listing of these codes and applications (as best we know).

But
In addition, just glance at group 0.030. there you will see a listing for
JUST A BARE CRANKCASE. And also a couple of listings with Crankcase,
crankshaft, and a CAM. Note that the book tells you to change the cam for
certain apps. Now these partial engines could grow into any type engine so
mostly
these CRANKCASES RECEIVED NO CODES at all. Apparently, once in a while the
mech may have devised his own code often starting wirh "CE............"

Hope that this helps.

Regards,
Bob Helt

Make your own in 20 minutes! These are for EM's. LM driver's inner requires some trimming.

NOTE: compliments of 66Vairman

New replacement heater blower motor is PM102 and DOES NOT come with a fan. You have to reuse the metal blower fan off the old motor. DO NOT BUY A NEW PLASTIC FAN as they will melt since the blower moves HOT air from the engine. The PM 102 motor shaft that the fan fits on may be about 1/32" longer vs. the original motor so a washer may be needed under the fan retaining nut.

New replacement A/C blower motor is a PM134 and it comes with a plastic cage fan attached - fine to use as it only blows ambient temperature air into evaporator. This unit is lighter than the original fan. The plastic fan is that same size, but has a thicker reinforcing edge so fitting is CRITICAL or it will rub.
