![]() Corvair Center Results 1 - 30 of 212 24 days ago TedBrown EFI pump/Return regulator for Carb engines. I have not tried it since everything I own is EFI, but might be worth looking at with my in-tank assemblies.
Holley EFI to Carb regulator
A little expensive, but this mechanical pump thing has gotten a little out of hand.
Ted Forum: Corvair Center Forum 6 weeks ago TedBrown I am in need of points plates, so for the hoarders that keep old worn points plates but can't bring themselves to throw them away, I am your guy.
I am building an EFI Distributor using the original Corvair distributor. I have bought some cores and some straight out, but I have about 15 distributors that are missing point plates. The plate is the only part that matters...basically, if Forum: Corvair Center Forum 3 months ago TedBrown The replacement module is in stock at TSP. I don't know if CC has replacement modules are not.
Ted Forum: Corvair Center Forum 3 months ago TedBrown Maybe I missed it, but what type of distributor/setup are we talking about? pic?
I have a replacement module for a TSP distributor that I will not use.
Ted Forum: Corvair Center Forum 3 months ago TedBrown I have parenting classes for the next couple of weekends. I thought a little late, they should have required them 40 years ago when I really needed them.
My priorities are changing but I still plan to continue with Corvairs and EFI. Have fun...hopefully, I will make it next year.
Ted Forum: Corvair Center Forum 4 months ago TedBrown I have 36-1 and GM 7x trigger wheels in stock. They bolt directly to the harmonic balancer and already have holes pre-drilled. I also have them without the notch missing if you need the (1) missing at any degree.
$29.00 + 5 Shipping - Lower US only.
Thanks
Ted Forum: Corvair Center Forum 4 months ago TedBrown I have my tickets, but I have never won anything in my 60 years. Anything I have gotten for free usually cost me.
I considered it a donation but would love to have it. I think If I got to 10 Corvairs, I would probably stop as I have no more storage room.
Ted Forum: Corvair Center Forum 5 months ago TedBrown First, let me thank you, the users for allowing me to use the forum to post important updates for the EFI system. I try not to abuse this privilege as this is a safety/performance bulletin. This only affects EFI systems built since 2020.(2nd Generation)

Ted Forum: Corvair Center Forum 6 months ago TedBrown Just to clarify. The EFI pumps are made by Bosch. The Carb pumps are all China-made. I actually bought a Carter pump and it had printed made in the USA, then the Box said made in China. The China pumps and Carter seems to be made by the same people (machine marks, housing, etc).
The internal pumps are rotary vane pumps and tend to whine. I've had a couple complain about the whine a Forum: Corvair Center Forum 6 months ago TedBrown Inside Tech Session. Might be boring stuff for most, but thought I would post it. Please ignore the heavy southern accent... I must have been feeling really country that day.
Ted Forum: Corvair Center Forum 6 months ago TedBrown OK... I have a copy of a video made by Donnie Bird of the outside Tech Session. After the inside discussion, we went outside in 100-degree weather and installed EFI on a Carb'ed engine.
It is long and should be shortened, but this is what I have so far.

Make sure you have CC (Closed caption turned on)
Ted Forum: Corvair Center Forum 6 months ago TedBrown Wow Craig, You got me nervous now.
Me and another club member installed the Corvette type (C3) and never had an issue. I have about 100k on them, but I guess anything can break given enough time. He never had an issue neither as far as I know.
The reason I went to a Corvette Heim-type setup was the trouble I had getting the originals installed after removal.
Ted Forum: Corvair Center Forum 8 months ago TedBrown Sadly, we are all heading down that track with no one to take over our cars or our Corvair-specific companies. My children (in their 30s) could care less about Corvairs and even less about building fuel injection systems for them.
I'm going to give my nephew a Corvair and see if I can spark some interest and will be away of getting rid of another rather than just sitting in a warehouse Forum: Corvair Center Forum 9 months ago TedBrown ihscomputers Wrote:

But I will...that's got to be worth something. This is my favorite show and takes a lot for me to miss it. I will be driving my 66 140 and will be introducing my "Staged Injection". This is the latest EFI innovation Forum: Corvair Center Forum 10 months ago TedBrown Easy come easy go. The 66 Corsa Convert with AC is gone, but another replaces it.

I know the 66 was worth a few bucks more, but I didn't want to spend the next 2 years or so getting it ready to paint, etc. I just want to enjoy them and plus this one already has my injection system...So I am ready for Helen, GA
Ted Forum: Corvair Center Forum 10 months ago TedBrown Amazing.
I really like your innovation and persistance.

>something that is repeatable. With all my trash talk about mechanical pumps, the last thing I need is an electric pump that fails.
So True Jim. All low-pressure pumps are made in China now (that I can find) and worry about that too. The problem is not so much it is made in China, it's the quality control, Forum: Corvair Center Forum 11 months ago TedBrown 20. Re: seat covers Has anyone used them? I bought a set for the 63 GB (I cant remember the company) and they looked good until I sit in them. The other thing I noticed was all the bench seats were not long enough. If anyone has any first-hand knowledge, might be worth posting.
I've been down with a back injury and sitting didn't bother me that much, so I decided to use this time to sew my own seat Forum: Corvair Center Forum 11 months ago TedBrown azdave Wrote:

> One of our club members has already replaced the e-pump twice since getting their 62 sedan back on the road. Turns out the new pumps can't be trusted much more than the new mechanicals. The second pump was Mr Gasket brand and it was bad almost right out of the box. The other pump probably lasted them less than 500 Forum: Corvair Center Forum 11 months ago TedBrown In-tank Corvair electric fuel pump for Carb engines.

Ted Forum: Corvair Center Forum 11 months ago TedBrown The 66 Corsa, 140 AC is was traded before I even got it home. It will be fixed up by one of my Corvair buds and I have a drivable 65 Convert 4 Speed, 140 Monza in exchange.
There is a lot to be said about a car you don't have to fix up at my age.

Have not got that far. I actually bought it to have something to drive while I was fixing up the 68 convert. I cant wait to go through it an decode the body tag, etc. Forum: Corvair Center Forum 11 months ago TedBrown Just purchased a 66 Corsa Convert 4-Speed 140 w/Factory Air. Pretty Cool FM Factory radio that even works. Pretty good shape and happy the get a driver while I redo the 68 Convert. It's got close to 300k on the body and is just worn out (except the engine). I plan to go through it and fix it back to its original glory.
I Will Post Photo next week when I bring it home... it's at m Forum: Corvair Center Forum 11 months ago TedBrown We are still in the same boat, but our connector and terminal supplier has given us a new ship-date of 1 Apr 22. What does that mean?... Nothing but they do send updates.
I could use some Chinese knock-off-brand stuff, but I got burned on that stuff a long time ago and will not let that happen again. I know Delphi (Aptiv)/TTI connectors are probably made in China, but they have quality cont Forum: Corvair Center Forum 1 year ago TedBrown I plan to mount the controller on the ash try as I can drill that part of the dash without GB guilt. It's 3 wires which I will tap at the rear and run along with the factory wiring harness.
Glad yall are taking advantage of the cheap price of that unit. I am very happy with mine at $150 but would have been happier at $89.
I may get another and figure heat for the 68 Convert. I am lo Forum: Corvair Center Forum 1 year ago TedBrown Can you share the part number here for the 7/16 x 1-1/2 wheel stude for us that don't need/want the entire spreadsheet?
Thanks guys,
Ted Forum: Corvair Center Forum 1 year ago TedBrown Update: I moved the output from the Corvair ductwork to the vent to the front of the wheel well as I wanted to get warmer quicker. 3" hole saw and it was done.
You will also need a 3" vent. I used Everbilt 3 in. x 8 ft. Semi-Rigid HP Expand Ductsemi-ridged aluminum hose from Home Depot for $13 The Vent Face comes with the heater system.
Now, I paid approx $159 from Ama Forum: Corvair Center Forum |
