Craig,
I have a N.O.S. set of the old long skirt TRW Forged Pistons that are Standard size.
This set was available at reasonable prices at the time, so I bought them just to have for someday maybe...

I know these are not the ideal part you are searching for BUT... IF you think a set of 1964 barrels would work, there is a set of six currently listed on e-bay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/145670535988?itmmeta=01HZ8CMTADBHAP9V71KPW2PXEE&hash=item21eaa3fb34%3Ag%3AGQkAAOSw5XVloXUC&itmprp=enc%3AAQ...

:ty: Was great seeing a few folks from here on the forum out at the Ranch. :wave: Andria, Rex, John. And also meeting several other enthusiasts! What a great day! The weather was beautiful. It was nice to see you there Saturday as well as Rex and everyone else.....I'm happy to hear you got your par...

It was not I who bought it....
Maybe it was "Not Me", or maybe "I Don't Know", but since I do not know those two personally, I can't say for sure.

I stumbled across this earlier today and thought it might be worth revisiting.... December 2009 http://corvaircenter.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=269557 I read the initial post along with several of the replies. It wasn't until today I realized that this was a relatively New Forum when I joined it abou...

You uncovered the front wheel drive myth. Back in the mid 1980's, I had a 1980 FWD Cadillac Eldorado (Yes, with the Diesel 350 Olds motor) and it did very well in the Snow most of the time. In the late '90's I had a couple Chrysler Lebaron convertible's and they performed well as well which is why ...

I have "Cut and Pasted" the relevant part of the Topic Article here so that years from now when the link can no longer be found, this thread might still make some sense to those that might find it. " America, Your Cars Are Getting Old The average age of a US vehicle is now 12.6 years,...

snowflake dictator Really? What are you trying to say? Dictator is the issue. It is OK to be a dictator as long as you are not a snowflake? I like snowflakes, they make skiing easier. We didn't get much snow this year. I guess I'm just a snowflake to you. But I'm not a dictator. I am a history buff...

I find it interesting that since the activity on the CCF has all but ceased to exist in the past six month's and now rarely sees a dozen topics active in any given day would suddenly see such a large amount of perceived activity, especially on one topic. :nono: I for one, would NOT put it past ONE ...

As others have already suggested.....contact the Vendor you purchased your parts from and give them an opportunity to correct the situation. Be polite, not demanding with and explain the problem. I suspect they should respond favorably if they are reputable. IF you purchased these parts from a priv...

Good turnout today, about 50 people registered and 25, maybe a few more Corvair's were driven to the event.
The weather held out and it wasn't to hot. Here are a few photo's from early in the day.

Frank provided good sound advice but there is also a chance your car may have mouse nests blocking the air flow. If the car you purchased had been sitting for a while before you got it there is a chance that there could be blockages between the cylinders that keep the air from moving through to coo...

There are some physically smaller import car batteries available that will fit and function acceptably in an Early Model Corvair if you are looking for something that will do the job and are OK with it not appearing "Stock". IF you need or want a Stock appearing battery for any number of r...

Also I just figured out there is a Portland, TX too.

Well Gee Phil.....There is also a "Portland Cement" ...

I apologize but I simply couldn't help myself....

The Weather forecast as of this moment shows 12% chance of showers at 9:00 A.M. and 4% at Noon so it is looking good.

IF you have never attended this Open House event and are close enough to make a day of it....I doubt you would regret it.

I'm glad that it is far far from me or I could be tempted....
