Corvair Forum

Selling the car. Need to get back what I put into it. It does run and drive, what do I need to know in order to get $2000?

I would enjoy some shiny new functionality

Well... To start, I have had to rewire all of my major electrical parts with motorcycle wiring The brake failures were my fault, I forgot to adjust them and the adjusters fell out The oil is leaking from both the engine and transaxle, and the smoke rises out the fan area after a drive. Oil leaves ...

And for some reason, my computer is double posting everything. Sorry about that.

yes, the mileage is for real. Engine was rebuilt at some point, probably. Its running okay, but there is a fairly terrible oil leak and now, after getting a new nut and bolt to hold my worn linkage together, it does go into every gear. However, now the clutch makes a funny squealy sound, like moving ...

The shift linkage seems okay, but I really don't know. I just went out to check on it and oil is dripping out of the engine quite a lot out of the engine where it bolts up to the grease housing-I mean, bellhousing. This, plus the clouds of smoke, plus the fact that the p.o. ran for a long time with ...

I dont know why it doesnt have third gear anymore, and I'm afraid something is broken. The engine sounds a little different now

So My car has only been functional since last sunday, and since then it has had two brake failures, one thrown belt, and one fallen-off exhaust tip. Today I drove it about ten miles. On the way, it seemed fine, but it got a bit upset whenever I tried to put it into third gear. Also, there were ...

Okay, i wired my idiot lights wrong at the dash. Its actually the gen warning light thats on. I know my battery is low, could this be the cause?

Finally, after two months, put my engine back in. Started right up, ran extremely well, no more rattling! However, the "Temp/press" warning stayed on after the engine was started and running. It didnt seem hot, the oil level was good, and it was idling normally. Seemed to be running excellently ...

So i was driving down the road and I heard a strange noise. Pulled off the carbonaters and it looks like my muffler bearing is busted. I'm told this is lubricated by a tube from the headlight fluid reservoir. How can I get a good, permanent fix on this problem?

upon inspection of the bottom of the car, it looks like theres a leak coming from between the engine and trans... i sure hope I dont have to replace that throwout bearing...

by the way, bbodie, this is my first time with this and im 15!

I have a motorcycle jack that should hopefully work for this. What parts of the engine need to come off before I can drop it down?

everything now works on my corvair. All i have left is to pull the engine and fix the bad flywheel. But how does one go about pulling an engine? I have all the tools i need, but i really dont know what needs to come off. The engine runs great, so I dont want to mess anything up. So please, school me ...
