Corvair Forum

Hey Daddy O! YOU can call me Ho Daddy. I live I. New Mexico with wide expanses like Australia. But I have to tell you. I am fascinated with Aulstralia. It seems beautiful. I even had a girlfriend from Inverel. I have an early model with a 68, 140 engine. Runs pretty good. 68 was a good year for Corv...

I've actually done that in my drinking days with a Harley Davidson fiberglass saddlebag. But it melts fast in the summer.

Bit there will be other things in the truck as I am going to take the car camping.

What size is the ice chest that fits in the trunk of your Corvair?

Is anyone on here going to the Tri Stye Meet Up in Las Vegas New Mexico?

Dennis, I agree 100%. But. Now my friends call me a snob. But Corvairs are supposed to be fun . I mean we're like 55 years after the fact. So, fun, right? I don't want my stand to be adequate, either. I want it to be right. ....and when I put a snap-on in my hand it just feels right! I don't own any...

I don't really know where it's made but I'm guessing it's USA Made. Even if it isn't it's way over buildt for my intentions. Sp, I'll paint it and call it good.

Here's what I'm looking at.
It's got wheels. The rust is way only surface rust and that silver paint on the top not galvanized steel.

Good work Wittsend. The only problem is I have a severe aversion to HF. Most my friends are at their Wittsend with me as I won't step foot in the store as i am a leftist against filling our landfills with there merchandise. I will not o into the store, I've become a complete bore because it's qualit...

You guys are great to answer so timely. I am familiar with Removing the engine. I have done it thanks to some plans I found online to make a cart made specifically for my motorcycle jack. All I did on that o ocasion was remove a transmission seal. It was documented on here. What I am going to do now...

Is it because you can't split the cases on a normal one?

It seems corvairs need special engine stands. Is this true , and why if so?

It's all very interesting. I got the ignition from Raffy a few years back. I'm thinking it was a Stinger. Since instructions said run a 3ohm coil, that's what I feel like I should do. But the 1 Ohm coil is the one that came with it. If it's wrong........?

Someone, WAS talking about a miss at idle with a powerglide. I just know it. I know what your saying though.

The pinging was only from take off with three guys in the car.

Well, we will get the alternator back and see where we are.
I sontcfeel over my head but that us subjective I guess. I am just interested in how different couls affect idle.

I think it's worth mentioning that the plugs came out a little kean. I prefer a more rich condition. I tried to richen the carbs a little with the air mixure screws but the car ran bad so I returned it to a better idle. It may also be worth mentioning that the car has four primary carbs.
