And made in USA) What can I plug the hole that is left if I take out my gas pump and run only on my electrical fuel pump? Also can...

Re: Who's vair is a DD?

(don't drive it without the belt) Richard finch once wrote that corvairs are the most dependable car in the world. I am going to go out on a limb here and say i agree back in the day. they are just old now and as such they have elderly problems. But on the other hand oil has gotten better but gas ha...

But he offered 3K, he may have gone up to $4,500 but not likely. they were just to far apart so the negotiations stoped- remember?- so he would have gone higher. I'm sure of it.

Re: Parked on small grade and smoked

very true, Mountain Man! I guess it shouldn't bother me. I actually put some Marvel comics magic mystery oil in it a couple of days ago for kicks and grins and it still hasn't smoked. I am not going to complain. I am going to drive it to garage sales this weekend.

Re: Parked on small grade and smoked

That sounds cool to me. It has been a strong engine. I think I over think things way to much. But I have to say that puff of smoke was a bit more than what i have experienced in the past.
