Corvair Forum

Hi and Welcome to the Corvair Forum, It is not my intention to scare you but there are a few things you need to be cautious about when potentially purchasing a Corvair sight unseen. 1: Don't take the seller's word about the overall condition of the car unless you know and trust them completely. 2: A...

As I understand it, the backing plate for the '64 is different than other years and you would need to have them for the brake drums to work properly. I don't absolutely know this for a fact since most of my experience excludes the 1964 cars. My "Experience" is only from recalling prior dis...

To Caraholic4life: As far as "authorization from General Motors to use the referenced names and emblems", that was obtained in writing by way of a a letter dated August 17, 1970 addressed to Mr. Richard M. Langworth, CORSA Secretary, by R.L. Siegrist, Assistant General Sales Manager, Chev...

Ya just gotta love it when you spend a good amount of time lining things up the way you want it then the computer decides to change things and do it it's way.......Who is in charge here, the computer or it's owner? :think: For what it is worth Frank, it looks good and is well explained. Even I could...

I have been considering a couple different aftermarket Speakers offered by Custom Autosound. It appears that they might work in a Late model Corvair if a single "Stereo" type Speaker is desired. One is listed as a 1966 1967 Nova Dual Voice Coil Dash Speaker With AC. It is a 5" x 7&quo...

I would think that G.M. actually owns the rights to the Name and emblem design rather than this "Organization". Furthermore, I wonder if the BoD ever actually obtained authorization from General Motors to use the referenced names and emblems that were used on the top of the line 1965 &...

Stock stud, but what is that nut? :dontknow: I also noticed the long stud stye nut. My initial thought was that the reminded me of the Poly Lock stye rocker nuts but all the components were not there. My next thought was that these were someone's idea of a "High Performance" part. I am NO...

pulled the pushrod and lifter this evening. The pushrod was in correctly. The lifter looks really clean and smooth. I was hoping just to take it apart and clean it, but the bottom cup is pretty much permanently installed and I can't move the checkball. Checkball malfunction would explain no oil and...

I may be wrong but I suspect the #5 exhaust valve seat is loose. That is the reason for the 25% compression loss. 10% is allowable difference, or 11 psi from center reading.in the case. Valve seat can go back in position, but compression loss is one symptom. Lack of ipiston mpact due to limited run...
