:dontknow: :confused: "0E" appears to be incomplete. The first set of characters you see are a three character code on the top left corner of the body tag. This represents the date code. The code consists of two digits and a letter. The digits represent the month, and the letter represents...

For many decades I believed in the quality and reliability of the original Corvair mechanical fuel pumps. But in recent years the age and inherent design flaw that can permit fuel to leak down into the crankcase and mix with the engine oil convinced me to abandon the mechanical pump and replace it w...

I have been driving Corvairs since 1969, and riding in family Corvairs since 1961. I have never had a parking brake cable or pulley fail — although I did have a couple of clutch cables snap without warning — a frustrating life event! :banghead: HOWEVER... I am paranoid about the possibility of a par...

» Sun Feb 11, 2024 2:20 pm Yes I have a '60 Corvair for the winter. I had high hopes for the gas heater but it only works part of the time. It doesn't always do the same thing so it's a little hard to troubleshoot but I need to get after it. Jim Brandberg Isanti, MN CorvairRepair.com The attached g...

:welcome2: :wave: Welcome to the Corvair Forum! Does the car idle OK in NEUTRAL but tends to stall in drive OR reverse? You may just have to increase the idle speed setting on both carburetors. The additional load from the torque converter can cause the engine on a Powerglide Corvair to stall if the...

:welcome2: :tu: :wave: Welcome to the Corvair Forum! I live on the Georgia/North Carolina border, near Hiawassee, Georgia. I began with Corvairs in 1961, when my parents bought their first brand new Monza coupe — I was eight years old. They upgraded to a new Corvair Corsa convertible (140hp) in 1965...

The attached 1962-1963 Supplement - Chevrolet Corvair Shop Manual - Section 8 - Electrical Systems is all that was published by Chevrolet for the 1962-1963 Corvairs. These were the basis for the combined schematics that I put together for the earlier portion of this Corvair Forum section. The schema...

:goodpost: :welcome2: :tu: :wave: Welcome to the Corvair Forum! I live on the Georgia/North Carolina border, near Hiawassee, Georgia. The Asheville CORSA meeting location is about 125 miles from my home, but I think I would rather drive north than south to the Atlanta area! I will have to check this...

When I saw this post I thought it might be helpful to copy it over to this thread so that this valuable wiring information is included with the other schematics that do not really cover the variations in wiper system wiring. » Mon Feb 05, 2024 7:59 am I thought someone here could use one of these Co...

The amount of electrical current drawn by the horns is far too mucch to be handled by the small switching system in the steering column. Because of this, a horn rela is used in the trunk to handle the high current drawn by the horns. The small switch contact in the steering column provides a ground ...

I have copied a couple of my previous posts and their associated illustrations to try to provide you with a detailed description of the Corvair Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) systems as they replaced the 1960-1962 road draft tube with a variety of crankcase ventilation configurations. In all ...

I'm also 71 years old! I've discovered that it is not the crawling under my Corvairs that is hard... it is dragging myself back up into a standing position from the car creeper tthat can be a struggle... it is particularly frustrating to realize while under the car that a critically-needed tool stil...
