Re: Heater Fan Selector Switch Electrical

I've taken a switch apart, and this is what I've learned. The terminals on the switch have two markings. There's one on the blade, and one on the insulator. Insulator Blade B 2 L (center blade) M 1 H 3 This is what it looks like inside. The "bumps" are contacts, and the rest of the surface...

Re: porsche swaps. teach me

Re: Custom engine build

I agree with Scott V. Determine what your budget will be and then talk with an expert and develop a plan. If you just put 3-barrels on the engine without a lot of other work that should be done, you'll probably be disappointed with the "bang for the buck" factor. Corvair engines need a bal...

Re: Don't want to leave you hanging...

Nickshu, as I recall, they are 1979 brakes. Good eye! Nearly as I can guess, the braking system is not well-balanced. I haven't had the car running long enough to break the brakes in, and I didn't get a chance to weigh it during the three days I had it running. I guessed at a weight of 2800 pounds, ...

Don't want to leave you hanging...

... especially because there's not really much to tell. Hello, I'm James. (Hello, James!) Like you, I am afflicted with Corvair. It started out as a project car my brother-in-law gave to me. I was just about to actually start on the project, after deliberating for a couple of years, when another Cor...
