:think: Are the push rods inserted backward? There is a small hole in the side of each push rod that is there to spray oil on the rocker arm to lubricate it. If the push rod is inserted upside down, the side hole will be near the hydraulic lifter instead of the rocker, and the rocker arm may not be ...

Great looking Corsa!

I saw this today on Facebook and thought it was worth repeating. It is funny how Hillary Clinton and the Democrats are trying to promote the concept that Republicans are trying to block minorities from voting. Also, the fate of Obamacare is currently being reviewed and considered by the Supreme Cour...

It's good to see it on the road again! When I had the coupe and convertible over in Germany, I had already installed the Otto Parts air cleaners on the white coupe, but I never spent the money to add them to the convertible. I remember driving all the way from Ventura County (Thousand Oaks) to the O...

I agree... I have a thing for Early Model Corvairs with a white exterior and red interior — probably because that was the color scheme on our very first brand new 1961 Corvair Monza coupe that my parents purchased in San Jose, California in 1961 (I was eight years old). Most of the car looks to be 1...

Please post some detailed pictures, including the trunk, interior, engine compartment, and exterior from various angles.

:goodpost: The above post makes some good points. The picture below shows the exhaust tailpipe body cutout normally found on 1962-1964 turbocharged Spyders. it is relatively easy, and somewhat common, for Corvair owners to transfer Spyder trim and the instrument panel/glove compartment door from a r...

A look made popular in the 1970's in the Trans-Am days of the early Z-28 Camaro, with a variety of stripe widths.... http://chevroletwallpaper.com/img/2012/09/Chevrolet-Camaro-Z28-1969-1.jpg http://i.ytimg.com/vi/liLqfA_HTpU/maxresdefault.jpg http://www.fastcoolcars.com/images/69camaroz28/69-camaro-...

...The emergency brake cable(s) shown on Clark's On-line catalog 148, sorry I'm not as good at getting pictures up here. I can't remember but were both rear wheels on one (1) cable with that "equalizer" in the middle on the long adjusting bolt? Or are there two (2) individual cables to ea...

:dontknow: ...can not be driven or rolled forward. I literally have to push it back into the garage with my other car and both rear wheels stay locked and leave marks on the driveway... :whoa: :dontknow: If it is not the rear brakes, I cannot imagine a bearing problem that would do that. Possibly a ...

Considering the volume of sales, their business reputation, and the length of time that Clark's has been in business, I seriously doubt that there is a mismatch in the reproduced springs that Clark's is selling and the factory specifications. If there was a big discrepancy, it would certainly be hea...

There are quite a few options in flywheels, clutch discs, etc. You should spend some time browsing the appropriate sections of the Clark's Corvair Parts online catalog to determine what you want to do with your clutch. Since you stated that it is slipping, you will need to determine the cause of the...

:welcome2: :clap: :wave: Welcome to the Corvair Forum! It looks like you have acquired a decent Spyder as a base for a restoration. Did it come with a separate turbo engine, or only the "110 hp" unit? I noticed the engine appears to be a 1964 or later engine, which would mean 164 CID inste...
