Corvair Forum

It drives real nice with the Centerline wheels on it, I was lucky to find them local. The centreline wheel caps are way to much money for used ones so I got the centre cone locally for 8.00 each and I have a decal shop making decals for the middles. It should turn out nice. I find it sits a little h...

Hi guys I have been building my 67 500 for quite some time now and the information I am able to get for this forum is invaluable, I really appreciate all your time and knowledge. By now I feel I have touched every single part on two LM Corvairs that I have owned, one the parts donor and two my 500 f...

Hi guys as you may have heard I have had an engine fire, I am now in the process of rewiring the rear end of my car, some of the wiring is salvageable, thank god I can still see where all the colours go. I have a few ideas and would like your opinions. A) I am going to remove the wiring harness conn...

I really appreciate the advice, on with the next project. Here are some updated pictures of my 67 500

Hi guys its been awhile since I have been on line, lots of garage time. I do have a question about venting the crank case.

Here is one picture of my 67 500.

Sorry about that, I have a 67 Corvair 500 coupe. I switched from a 3 speed tranny to a four speed, I used the same reverse indicator module, do you guys know if they are interchangeable or do I have to buy one specific for the four speed? Also the wiper issue I have is when I turn on my wipers the w...

Hi guys Its almost time to hit the garage again even thought it has not stopped snowing up here. I am having a bit of a problem with my car it seems that the reverse indicator lights do not come on, as well when I turn on my wipers the spray keeps pumping as well, it was all working fine when I remo...

Thanks guys, will check things out and get back to you's.

It has two wiper speeds, but as soon as the wipers come on the sprayer starts and keeps on spraying.

Hey guys its been awhile since I have been on the site, I have a funny problem when I turn my wipers on the pump starts pumping fluid as well and stops pumping when I turn the wipers off. Any suggestions?

Hey guys just a quick question about the clutch return spring and how it is connected, I can't find a place to hook it up close to the transaxle. I unhooked it a long time ago and can't remember where it goes. I tried to order a part from Clarks but they are out of stock new and used (clutch spring ...

Thanks again for all the great info, I was able to get it together with a lot of finesse and patience with my jack and tie down. That was the hardest thing to do so far on the whole tear down, rebuild and install engine job, but its done. I might have to take it all apart again because I kind of lik...

thanks guys I will try that tomorrow morning, rest of the engine is in just having a hard time with the strut rods.

Hey guys I am in need of some help with the rear strut rods, the rubber was shot in one of my originals so I got a new set from clarks with one end rubber and one end nylon. I am having a hard time installing them, it seem the bolts will not line up to the transaxle when they are attached at the tir...
