Re: Bad Blonde on Corvairs

I really enjoyed her video, and it appears to be well-researched. HOWEVER... She never shows the engine compartment (understandable, since her example is apparently a 1963 with factory air conditioning, and opening the engine compartment would be unlikely to reveal much of the engine!

Re: Late Model Heater Rebuild Start to Finish.

I have a pair of 1966 Corvairs (Corsa convertible and 4-Door Sedan) that could both use a little refreshing in the heater fan department. I will try to duplicate your successful effort — using your photos as a model!

Re: which transaxle oil to use

Although it is somewhat pricey, I have come to believe that these Royal Purple motor oil and gear lube products are a good match for the Corvair engine and manual transaxle. https://mma.prnewswire.com/media/1863295/RP_Synthetic_Expert_Logo_Black_Text_Logo.jpg?p=facebook HIGH PERFORMANCE ENGINE OIL ...

Re: Detonation vs Preignition? 62 84hp
