Corvair Forum

I'm thinking of finally trying to rebuild mine this winter (believe I have '65 dated carbs on my vair). Getting some hesitation (or car stalls) if I hit the gas too hard at a traffic light/stop sign...accelerator pumps? Kinda nervous to pull them apart, as I've never tackled this type of project. I ...

I'm old school and pretty much refuse to use any of them. I used Paypal in the past, but too many people I know had issues, one guy I know lost almost $1,000 selling Stanley Cup Final tickets to someone who had used a hacked account. He never recovered those $$. I killed off my account after that ...

I'm a former member. I actually tried to renew online a couple years ago, had issues (maybe VPN related, I forget). So I called to try to do over phone, never got a call back. So said whatever. I've been trying to cut expenses with the out of control inflation anyway (still am, so probably won't ...

I'll second on Rock Auto for spark plugs.

Welcome!

Scott,

I'll send you one of my '66 if you want?!

Welcome! Post some pics of your '63 when you can.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I'm not on Faceplant (as I call it), so it's possible it's been making the rounds there for a long time!

Saw this on wife's facebook, lol

Yeah every ~300 miles does seem like alot, but that's only 1-2 oil changes per year. Of course, the car is parked all winter long up here in New England. I generally do an oil change around the start of driving season, and another at the end. Some years I might skip one, but never go beyond 10-12 ...

I've been using Valvoline VR1 10w-30 since I bought my Corvair in 2018, but it's getting a bit pricey. I'm down to 4 quarts, so after the next change (soon), I'll probably make the switch, Thanks! CCF oil expert Richard W. evaluated Valvoline VR1 years ago and surprisingly the formula sold in ...

Is Rotella T4 10w-30 still a good motor oil choice for the Corvair? I only ask as I know the oil companies sometimes change formulas, ie. reduce ZDDP, etc. I've been using Valvoline VR1 10w-30 since I bought my Corvair in 2018, but it's getting a bit pricey.
