Corvair Forum

For your consideration for the Corvair of the Month. Our 1966 Corvair Monza Convertible. 110hp 4 speed. Rare Aztec Bronze with Bronze interior. New, mostly stock, about everything. Seats, top, complete new brakes and gas tank and line, engine and heads overhauled, paint about 5 years old, white wall...

I would like to submit our 1966 Corvair Monza convertible for the C-O-M. It is a CA & AZ car, Aztec Bronze exterior, Bronze interior, black convertible top just like the trim tag indicates. It is a 110h.p. 4 speed, I rebuilt the engine in 2015, 60 over forged pistons, etc. New h.d. flywheel, clu...

Hi, How do you 'vote"? This is where to "Enter" but I don't see anywhere to "vote". Is there a different link to vote or where are the radio buttons to vote?
Thanks

I have also about had it with the leaks, old stock pan or new Clarks aluminum pan. Tried many different gaskets, with and without a little dab of Red RVT. Put a straight edge everywhere and seems to be ok. I use the thread locktite and torque to proper specs. New O rings (and lifters) so those don't...

Ron, hope you are planning on taking it to Portland for the CORSA convention. Definitely the Best of Show winner, maybe Corvair of the Year!
Cheers

Dave's 455 sounds even better live. :^}

@ terribleted. Sounds good, but my wife would have to be gone a full day to do all 8 wire wheel hubcaps. :^}}

From the looks of your hubcaps, they are not the stock 66 wire wheel covers. Probably EM. I had some 63 Chevy Super Sport's that the tabs holding the center piece were not bent over and it made the same racket. Either that or the screws are not tight that hold the center piece together. Re floating,...

I found this on a hotrod forum. "One of the more overlooked tools for engine diagnosis is a vacuum gauge. It can quickly and easily identify internal engine problems, but many people don't have a clue how to use one. And that is the purpose of this article, to clear up the mystery surrounding h...

Amazing. Love the new windshield! Both of mine are well worn.
We are on our way to Kalamazoo for the convention then on to Ann Arbor to visit with the kids/grand kids.
Love to see the car when we get back.

Summit Racing has some good video's on tuning with a Vacuum Gauge. They are for a Holly carb but the principles are the same for a Rot-chester. Check them out. Idle @ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xf54Pg9S5ZA" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Main Jet @ http://www.youtube.com...

I have pulled the dash from our 1965 Corsa to take it to be calibrated/repaired. Below are the pictures with labels for each bulb and the depth for each. Yes, the Tach has very shallow depth for any bulbs due to the curved plastic. The picture is a little "busy" but that is the way the Cor...

I found this stream on the other forum about line boring. Not really recommended as Scott V says. http://corvaircenter.com/phorum/read.php?1,125039,125097" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Per John S. there is a machine shop in Mesa, S&S Machine Shop, that works on Corvair...

Looking good. Your dash lighting looks as weak as mine. I may go for LED's if they will fit. I won't know until I pull the dash.

One warning if you go to a jobber to shop for a low price, they will put your request out to everyon...
