Corvair Forum

I feel bad for not ordering more from Lon. But I am just getting back into a Corvair and have been spreading my money through all the vendors. I just printed the catalog. It's good reading all the tech and info. Sorry to see him retire, but health and family are more important. Do I see a worldwide ...

Pertronix 2 and flame thrower 2 are good. Here's the problem. When I go to take off the car barely moves...
