I have a GPS speedo in my '65 Corsa turbo. I swapped all stock gauges out for digital ones. I'm using Seth's bracket. Like you, my stock speedo wasn't accurate. I tried to get it repaired - still didn't work right. I ended up with a Summit racing GPS speedo and sender. https://www.summitracing.com/p...

EDIS is just an ignition system. The map you load determines the timing. I installed an EDIS system on my '66 turbo. If you want to see how that was done, I wrote a white paper on it: http://www.cincotek.com/Corvair/Corvair%20EDIS%20Ignition%20Conversion.pdf I also posted a short movie of my first a...

Much more then that !!

There are many topics on the forum regarding things you need to do before starting a car that has been sitting for a long time. Do a search and read up on that before you turn the key.

A member on the other forum posted an update to his white paper on what's good & what's bad regarding transmission and differential oil.

I thought the members here might like to read up on that: http://corvaircenter.com/phorum/read.php?1,1073996
