All the films have been digitized and are available if you look. The only one expressly denied access is "Car on trial". It is an internal GM training film, compiled for the defense of the Corvair in Court. It has been shown a few times at a convention or two, but is not available. GM has kept it controlled, for their own reasons. If you are picking one for fun, try "What about the 61 Chevys?"

Mel writes: "rear differential will need to be replaced with an 64 Olds rear before I can mashed on the throttle." So Seth writes: "or shortly after you mash on the throttle". Prep a pair of 5 on 5 wheels too!

My perception: In 1966, if your ordered N36 by itself, you got the plastic painted wheel. If you wanted both the telescoping column (N36) and the woodish wheel You had to order both numbers. You could order the woodish wheel by itself.

So, In all the years of Corvair production, there were only two places that the GM engineers installed fine threads in Aluminum. Where were they?

I believe Chevy sold two different rockers for the Corvair. (First one, then replaced by another). The newer rocker has a narrower, but longer contact surface for the tip.This later style is the style that Clark's modeled for their replacement. I actually prefer the earlier ones with the wider face. There may be other differences in their design.

Tim - We had four Carbs on the motor and all were set up with accelerator pumps. We removed the Primaries because of time constraints, but Smitty, with the proper home-made tool, replaced all four cups. Chuck had several older pump assemblies. He decided we only needed to fix the primaries, for now. But he has a pair that are converted to Viton. Since he will have the motor out -might be already

It actually looks like a good deal. Body work and electrical are the things most kit-cars need to finish. This is no exception. All the rebuilt hardware would cost more than that. I wish there were some interior shots.

In the past 2 years, the Tesla charging network has finally covered most areas. The car is smart enough that it will tell you if you are headed off to a place where it will not be able to get back. (I know, kinda weird). I do not have an electric car, but our Solar Charging panels, now that they are paid for, could really keep the cost down. They continue to keep our home electric costs low.

If it is out of the car, can you not just remove the clamp/spring at the bottom and let the shaft drift upward to get to the snap ring.

I have an applicable distributor in stock. Easy, but at some cost, I understand. Mine has the Ford/MSD style magnetic pickup/reluctor.

For reference- All 66 Corvairs use this same coupler (Along with later 65s). And the 67-69 coupler appears identical, but located in a different position. Would it be easier to list what you do have? How about a photo of what you have?

Even the small alternators have a fan inside designed to pull/or push air past the rectifiers. They are listed as CW (clockwise) or CCW (counter-clockwise) For racing, it probably doesn't matter. Short races, small loads, etc. For street use, the correct rotation (which is CCW) is important. The power you need, the more heat it will produce and more cooling it will need. One time, lazy old me jus

The Flaming River steering box is fine. The 1962 uses a steel coupler at the bottom with a long shaft from the coupler up to the steering wheel. The end of the long shaft from the steering wheel is the place where the splines have gone away. He sent me a couple of more photos). Here is what I suggest. Find another 61-63 steering column and steal the shaft out of it. Make sure the coupling is in g

If you install them on 6" wide wheels, they should work fine. Are you sure they are not 175/75-14s. Still fine at that size.

It looks great, Dale. I wonder if the VHX box could handle a head temp input and display? I read that the high-temp switch is integrated. The head temp is the only place a numerical (digital) readout would be useful. Anyway, nice work! (both you and Dakota!)

At VIR at the SVRA Hecock gold cup, a couple of weeks ago, Chuck Sadek had an issue with his race car. With a splash of fuel the car would start and run - tentatively at idle, but it is a race car.It would come off idle a bit slow, but revved fine. Turn it off and it would not re-start. All four accelerator pumps shot dry (he is running 4 primaries). We pulled the primaries. The pumps looked fine

Magnetic Pulse pickups, Like those used on the "Big three" in their distributors, do have the advantage of not being particularly affected by the gap. Only a couple of rules, one there cannot be contact, and two, it must be close enough .030" is about the max, to induce a pulse. The electronics that use this pulse are triggered at the crossover point of positive to negative in the pulse - think a

You can test the reaction capability of your lens before starting the weld. Grab the striker from your Acetylene tanks and stike a quick arc, If the lens reacts, go ahead. If not, set it out in the sun for awhile. MATT - can you list the source on Ebay? Something that will show us where to find it.
