Corvair Forum http://www.corvairforum.com/forum/viewt ... 225&t=6007

I would like to encourage you to expand on your initial post and tell us more about yourself, your Corvair, and your goals for your Corvair. If you can describe your personal assessment of your mechanical skills and abilities, that would help a lot. Members of the Corvair Forum love to be helpful in assisting other Corvair owners with technical support and advice, but it helps a lot if we have some understanding of your technical background and mechanical abilities, Corvair-related knowledge, etc. Helping us to know more about you and your Corvair will help us to write comments to you that are tailored to your needs and experience. Pictures are great too, because pictures of your Corvair will help us to visualize where you are with your Corvair and its condition at the present time. Knowing your location is also useful, because knowing where you live can sometimes suggest possibilities to resolve some issues or problems.

Welcome Corvaircar! The cylinder numbers are also stamped on the top "turkey roaster" shroud.

You won't find #2 on the engine cover. In 1960 the one year only thermostat mechanism covered that area. In 1961 the thermostat was removed (change to the lower style units), BUT Chevy never got around to putting #2 on the fan shroud. It all worked out since they needed a flat area were the #2 would have been to mount the fast idle A/C solenoid on later cars.

Will rear coil springs from an earlier Corvair convertible fit a 66 Monza, ideally I would like to lift the rear end an inch or two from stock, it seems low to me, any info on coil springs from other cars that would achieve this? I found 4 earlier Corvair convertibles in a field in the Vernon, British Columbia, Canada area if anyone is interested. Some very nice hoods,trunks and doors.
