Re: Ventura County Corvairs
Yep. We're still here. I haven't posted in quite a long while do to life challenges. Nothing serious, but recently I had both knee's replaced. First one last November. The other one this past February. Lot's of long painful sleepless nights and aggressive Physical Therapy. Getting back to normal, bu...

Re: Clark's Corvair Catalog as PDF
I just get their newest paper catalog when I make a parts order and they have their latest catalog. Easy Peasy. I can find items much faster with the paper catalog. I also always make my orders by phone. This way they can tell me if something is out of stock or back ordered. No headaches. Corventure...

Re: 140 miss at constant speed only
Many years ago I had a problem like that with my 140. Holding a constant speed or going down a slightly down hill grade.
For me, I solved it by re-synking the secondaries and also reducing the secondary carb jet size.
Craig has good advice also.

Rampside Ramp Alignment-Bumper bushings.
I just received my pair of rebuilt Rampside Ramp Alignment bumper-bushings from Steve Spilatro. As with all the FC parts he is making, these are as close to NOS as I believe can be found. One sends him the old bumpers. He removes the old rubber. Cleans and bead blasts the metal frame. Then he someho...

Re: Rockauto F/C Brake Parts
I know coating has been noted as retaining heat. For our FC Bricks, that may not be an issue.
The last set of drums I bought were from NAPA. They came from Canada. But that was 20+ years ago.

Re: I'm Baaaack!
To Wittsend. I'm wishing the best for your Son and his condition. I can't imagine. For me it's been just 6 months of pain, discomfort and many sleepless nights avoiding the narcotics and opting for ice packs instead. I'm 69 and this has really been trying my patience. So I can't imagine what your So...

I have been away from this site for quite a while. Lots going on, including a complete new suspension. I put it off long enough. But last year I came to the conclusion that after a crazy year of more than usual traveling, I had to get it done. Sooo. in November I had my Left knee replaced. And then ...

Re: 2017 Great Western FanBelt Toss & Swap Meet
Aa Toss 2017.jpg Again a great year at the Toss. Every space was sold and IECC had to squeeze in a few more. Literally trailers of bins of parts arrived! The music was good. The food at the park and banquet was excellent! :tu: Even getting locked into the porta- pot didn't dampen my enjoyment of th...

Re: South Coast Corsa Cruise-In 2017: Ageless to Anarchy
Was a great event again this year!
The location at the transportation museum was super. Lots of easy parking for cars displayed.
I will definitely participate again next year.
Great job South Coast Corsa!

Re:2016 Fanbelt Toss Swap Meet in Palm Springs
What a great year. Vintage Corsa did a great job with scheduling and setting up this event. I have not seen such a busy Friday afternoon in many years! Saturday was banner. They sold out all the swap spaces. Repositioned the car show up front. Kick-off and banquet parties were both at the Elks. Good...
