Corvair Forum

I do this procedure outdoors if at all possible and always have a garden hose turned on and ready to spray within my reach as well as an ABC extinguisher. Old, stale gas is hard to ignite but fresh fuel can be quite dangerous. BTW, this is posted in the Classified section under "Vehicles for Sa...

This is a very cheap gauge so I do not know how accurate it is. I have a 0-15psi gauge somewhere I will find it and see what it says. What is the sender minimum pressure supposed to be? Usually will trigger below 4-5 PSI but factory switches were set to 3 PSI from my understanding. I find these swi...

Have you calibrated your gauge? I'll bet your engine is idling hot at 5-6 PSI but that the gauge just won't read that low accurately. I check my gauges when I'm trying to read any pressures in the 0-10 PSI range. On the workbench, I rig up an oil pressure gauge in parallel with a sphygmomanometer (b...

This pic shows a sheet of copy paper lined up at the LF hood corner and flush with the front edge. I can scan this as a pdf tomorrow at work and then send it as a pdf template that you could print at full scale to use. I didn't note it on the paper but the 4.5" and 8-7/16" dimension lines ...

None of my Corvairs have frunks but I can get you the dimensions later tonight if no one else posts the info before I get to measuring.

Only Tom K. could ask $7900 for a rebuilt engine that didn't have deep seats and get away with it. Anyone other seller here would have been roasted alive for omitting that modification on an expensive, performance rebuild. Just sayin'. I've been driving Corvairs since 1977 and have never dropped a ...

I'll add that at one time many said you should "stretch" the oil pressure regulator spring on an old engine since they loose tension. THAT IS NOT CORRECT! I 100% agree that it is not correct to stretch that spring but that's due to a reason you don't mention. Stretching that spring does a...

Why can't people try to stick to answering the original question. In this instance a better way of mounting the Clark air filters! I did a similar trick with shorter exhaust pipe couplers and notched them so I would not need to make any changes to the carb tops. Now that I have a 3D printer that ca...

I'll take it. Sending funds tonight.

Another davemotohead video tutorial to the rescue!

Asian imported fuel pumps have had issues, but that doesn't make ALL mechanical fuel pumps bad! If Asian pumps are all you can find then that does in fact make them all bad. ::-): 8 of the 8 I tested in the last two years from China began failing in around 8-10 miles of use. The shafts are too long...

Welcome! So what's the scoop on Bertha? New to you or had it a long time? How was it lowered?

So sounds like recruiting new members is now against the bylaws without prior approval? WTH? How do you figure that? All I read into that proposed bylaw change is that CORSA does not want any of its assets to be used to promote or endorse a non-affiliated, commercial organization unless pre-approve...

I have two of those. The part in the top of the images has the rear corner seam included. The other part is cut short of the seam because the person who bought the adjacent rear lower section wanted the full seam included to repair a tailpipe hole someone had made. $45 for the more complete part and...

I think I have a left rear corner (below the bumper level) cut from a 65 Arizona parts car but I won't be able to check the shed until the weekend. I'll update with pics and price if I find it.
