Tip of the Day...Check Inside Door Wiring Boot FIRST!!

Before fuses (4), switches, motors, actuators...etc. etc. Yes indeed, inside the boot was the last thing checked. Symptoms were LR no power window & no power lock. Did have power at the LR window switch indicator light. I guess the best news was I didn't throw any parts at it. Bad news...tweake...

All good questions Frank...I wonder about those numbers too.

Maybe there is a Corvair expert on here who can answer them.

6 total are listed as 1962-63 Turbo 150 heads in Clark's Catalog.

Re: Carter YH carbs wanted

Funny that Straight 8's are brought up!!

Just fired my 1952 Pontiac 8 yesterday.

Sounding bitchen and running smooth.

The Stig (Geoff) looking down smiling.

Picture is a 1954 Pontiac with 4 YH's.

Another carb to consider is a 2" SU.

Who Bought 63 Spyder North of Lake Nacimiento

Went and looked at this one for my neighbor.

Seller said his buyer was from Orange County.

Seemed complete...for the most part no rust.
