One of my most favorite Corvair pictures...Dave driving Striper in front of now closed Adams.

Re: Not new, but I'm back in the game

Hey Craig! Man, this is like old home week...

Yeah, it was pretty scary riding that concrete barrier, top down :eek:

Thanks for the comment on my car, I definitely always take that "last look" when I'm walking away from her.

Re: Not new, but I'm back in the game

Re: Good idle, no pick up 🙁

Check your spark plugs. I had a very similar problem with my '63, could get it to idle, but no power under load. Went thru every troubleshooting method mentioned, included tearing apart the carbs and cleaning them up (they were spotless). Finally went to do a compression check and one of the plugs ...

Re: 65 Corsa Convertible project

Thanks for the replies Bob! I am late responding because I never got any notifications the thread was updated. :dontknow:
