Re: Balance carb question
Thanks much The 4 turns were too fast of idle. I backed off each one 1/2 turn at time till idle seemed right, I don't have a tach, and it ended up being 1 1/2 turn out. There was no way I could use the paper strip to use for contact with idle screw. I used a mirror and held the throttle shut to see ...

Re: PG wont shift
I have one that wouldn't shift out of low until you drove it a couple miles or so. It would then shift good till you let it set a couple hours. I was told to use Lucas Transmission fix. I did and if it helped at all it was very little. I drove it about 350 miles and problem still there. Someone told...

AC seems to much load
H have a 63 with factory air. I charged it up with freeze 12 and it just seems like too much load on the engine. I then evacuated and charged with propane/butane(NOTE FOR TEST ONLY) It cools real good and not as much load on engine but still too much. I am wondering about a late model compressor to ...

ac questions
I am recharging my ac, it still has the original compressor and all. I am using freeze-12. When charging the head pressure is getting high and I don't have a big fan to help cool the condenser as the manual I downloaded says. On other cars I have always had a water hose handy to spray on it to keep ...

reverse rotation ac compressor
My compressor on 63 Corvair is model # 6550111 and it is not green. I read the Corvair compressors are painted green. Ac doesn't work and I am wondering if previous owner put wrong compressor on.

My new carvair with trannie problems--well more problems
I drove it around quite a bit and it will shift good but after cool it won't, guess the trannie fix in a bottle didn't work. Nother problem: all of a sudden it started running poorley, no power, won't idle. After a little trouble shooting I find the right carb isn't getting gas. To make sure I got a...

Re: Transmission won't upshift--UPDATE
PG won't upshift till trannie warns up. This car has low miles and has been setting. What might be the problem? I bought the car. I assumed it wouldn't come out of low when not unshifting. When it goes to shift it is either going to neutral or is slipping real bad. However it did upshift good with ...

Re: Transmission won't upshift
I haven't bought it yet. Going to look this Sat. If I get it I will report back on doing the fluid and "snake oil" thing. It is definitely worth the chance.
