The modified PCV system configuration appears to duplicate the standard setup used in 1964-1965 (as long as there is a fixed orifice restricting the tube connected to the vacuum balance tube, and the other hose is connected to an air filter input to...

Some high output high performance ignition coils have a very low primary resistance. It may almost look like it reads zero ohms if you don't check it carefully. The standard Delco coil has a 1.42 ohm Primary resistance. Most aftermarket coils have either 1.5 ohm or 3.0 ohms Primary resistance. These...

A clear, detailed photograph of your 1964 engine compartment may be helpful, as it may help us to see what you have there and what changes to the electrical hardware have been made. A close-up of the heated/melted/damaged wiring would also probably be helpful in communicating the nature of your wiri...

That said I've never measured the wire temperature wi...

I suspect that DIELECTRIC GREASE would work to improve those aging contacts on the Corvair light switch rheostat — or the switch could be replaced. The rheostat in your light switch consists of a fixed wire coil resistor and a moving metal contact, or WIPER, that slides along the coil resistor to t...
