Re: Internal Server Error

:think: :idea: I'm just guessing at the source of these error messages and server time delays. Many users have migrated over from the CORSA website to the Corvair Forum. We are seeing a significant increase in the number of posts each day, and the average number of network server logons at any given...

The most-convenient source for power is the ignition coil positive terminal. Allison/Crane Cams/FAST knew that the voltage available at the ignition coil positive...

Re: Gas smell in cabin but only while driving

I have not found any online collection of Chevrolet News Bulletins, but once in a while I come across one and file a copy on my PC for future reference and to share with others, when a question comes up on the Corvair Forum, like yours, that might benefit from something in my personal "Corvair ...

Re: Melting wires, simple question

I have a 1964 Monza with a 1968 140hp engine with a simple electronic ignition. The wires are severely melting or have melted, i.e. the wiring harness got hot, there's a short, and the insulation is melting. In fact they are still getting hot. I still have to trace down the problem. In rereading yo...

Re: Melting wires, simple question

The Corvair coil primary is about 1.3 ohms and the ballast is about 1.8 ohms. I did the research through the Pertronix documentation to try to...
