Roger, I used a full set of your linkage on the last 140 I built and was very impressed with your workmanship and quality. I have never liked the GM linkage design and as the parts wear out and the linkage holes become elongated, the car is no longer fun, or safe, to drive. I would not only ...

I can assure you that the 3VX560 is the best belt to use on your Corvair. I have run that belt to 7500 rpm repeatedly at Bonneville without a single failure. I wasn't aware that the 3VX560 belt was available as automotive use only. I buy mine from NAPA and it says "Industrial Belt" right on the ...

Corvair owner, driver, racer since 1961--I hope there's room for me here.
