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.

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.

Bosch 7502 (W8AC) Copper plugs for ANY stock Corvair
NGK B5HS for Stock Corvair, B6HS for one step cooler
Autolite 275's
AC 44F and 44FF and R44F(F)

Fan Belts

Clarks belts are good. The Gates Industrial 3V560, available through real auto parts stores, is a good belt too. Both are like the original GM belt i.e. fully wrapped and relatively narrow at 3/8".

Clark's Corvair (www.Corvair.com) has them. Their part number is C9067. It is on

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

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.

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.

Bob Helt
