I had a similar issue with my 65 - the Sprag in the Torque Converter went bad and the converter needed replacement.

Happy New Year!

Hey Garth, I'm having the same issue with my 64 and I should be getting to the repair in the next few weeks. From what I've read, it can eventually break the starter nose and/or worse if its continually driven. Also since the flywheel is out of balance, it can be hard on the main bearings, which is ...

Just throwing this out there - you may want to contact Chris @ Shade's Classic Corner in Nebraska - https://www.shadesclassiccars.com/ Chris is a great guy and has a real passion for Corvairs. He is updating his website but has a few cars listed on classicars.com in the meantime. He doesn't seem to ...

Thanks Brad, I've reached out to the local PA chapter and hopefully will get some additional info. On another note I received a picture of the body tag and the engine number and from what I gather, the car is a legitimate spyder but the engine has me stumped - '65 110 / PG?? https://photos.app.goo ...

I just sold my 65 Monza Conv. and in its replacement, I've been eyeing an EM Conv. Spyder. I came across this one on Hemmings and it is close enough for me to go inspect the car before purchase, however, I was just wondering if anyone in the area/Corvair world knows of the car. I know it's a ...

If you need parts in that time try Raffee Corvair. I just got some parts from him today.

So an update... I havent started the car since last weekend but this morning I decided to take it for a drive to work and a few observations: Started fine, was parked downhill facing forward, put in D and drove as it should. Forgot something so had to go back to my house so I stopped put in reverse ...

Is there any symptom on the troubleshooting guides below that describes your experiences? http://www.corvairforum.com/forum/download/file.php?id=22267&mode=view http://www.corvairforum.com/forum/download/file.php?id=47159&mode=view http://www.corvairforum.com/forum/download/file.php?id=47160&mode ...

I have a 140 in a Lakewood with a 64 Powerglide and diff. I get the same thing as you described in reverse. If I let the engine idle and put it in reverse it is OK if I give it power it has a jerky feel. I took it to a transmission specialist and he said it was not the transmission. He thought ...

Yes vacuum lines all connected correctly, only leak is from the converter seal that is dripping through the bell housing weep hole. It's not a lot and I make sure to check the fluid often

So as the title says I just finished installing a rebuilt 110 (Rafee), rebuilt PG with high stall rebuilt converter (Clarks), and rebuild diff (Corvair Ranch). Everything went together as planned, the car is running well and I am happy (minus leak from converter seal :angry: ). I do have a slight ...

I am curious about your tach signal safety switch idea. Is the tach signal going to activate a relay to do this? This is the one I am installing - http://www.revolutionelectronics.com/Fuel_Pump.html There are a few other types out there (inertia switch, oil pressure)but this one made the most sense ...

Gentlemen thank you for your replies. Brad, as always, lots of detailed information and I appreciate it every time. After looking everything over I decided to just replace the harnesses with the original ones instead of that from a Corsa. I think in the big picture, like Steve stated, it's probably ...
