Corvair Forum

No need to disconnect anything, you’re just going to lower maybe 2 inches.

I had one stick on years ago. I removed it and was able to get the plunger freed up on the switch.

Looks like that engine was possibly never run. It might just need a proper break in.

The lower compression is on #5, but the smoke at #1. Perhaps the engine isn’t broken in at all if it was never installed.

Seems here the buyer had two bad experiences, but never contacted Jeff for a resolution. Yes, it takes time to contact someone. But I would give the vendor a chance to correct the problem before posting something here (or elsewhere). I would add I have had good experiences with California Corvairs a...

I am upgrading to the XR700 as well. I found a new one at Summit Racing. It did not have the correct sensor mount for our distributor, but I found that at Lethal Performance and ordered it. I had one of these when they were under the Crane name on a previously owned Corvair and it worked flawlessly....

I used the Clark’s pan for two reasons: 1) Oil drain at rear of car, and 2) 5 quarts even for an oil and filter change.

I always liked that car. I wish I could have seen it perform.

Hi All I have had the rod arm slip a couple times and what I found was the clamps were not tightened enough. Maybe I need to change steel alloys. Out of 800 linkage kits I have made I have only had 7 reports of slipping clamps. Aside from welding or Knurling any ideas on how to stop this. Both of t...

Yeah, I saw that post Ken and I said me too! I'm trying not to get carried away with stuff while its out, but you can add polishing the fan to the list. I can't justify a nashfan, but I might be able to swing an airflow pulley. My car looks like a bit of a beater, but when I open the engine compart...

A few years ago before I swapped exhaust to the large extractors. uuid=572C5E96-439C-444E-99FE-F26FDFD98B6C&library=1&type=1&mode=1&loc=true&cap=true.jpeg uuid=5EE17135-D6C9-41C4-B1E6-AD2341DBA5C3&library=1&type=1&mode=1&loc=tru...

I’ve noticed new posts at the CCF have dropped dramatically. As much as I have supported CORSA in the past, they remind me of big government or a giant megacorp after a merger. The customers and often employees get screwed.

Unplug the sender wire. Gauge should read Full or beyond. Ground the sender wire and the gauge should dread empty. If it passes these tests, the sender is bad or the float is sunk. If it fails these tests, you have a problem with the gauge, wiring, or ground.

In my mind, THAT is what I think of when I envision a 911. Nice car!

With the direction CCF is going, I think I will enjoy this site more. What direction is that? I mostly come here for my Vair stuff. A lot of politics since CORSA took over the site. I’m not here to bash CORSA, but they are “fixing” things that were not broken, removing moderators and stuff like tha...
