Re: I'm in need of some help
The picture 6e-3 shows where the adjustment takes place, but it is blacked out beyond recognition. Does anyone have a better picture I can go off of?

Re: Im in need of some help
i checked the o-ring for the shifter cable, and it isn't coming from the seal, the fluid is coming from the cable itself. is that normal? And do I need to replace the shifter cable?

Re: Im in need of some help
Will and heat resistant O-ring that fits do, or should I order the ring from Clarks corvair, and if I should do you know where to find it? I'll start looking into getting the mechanical pump and the plastic spacers hopefully soon

Re: New to corvair
The car is warm, idle screw one and a half turns, and the choke was open. im guessing there might be a problem with a distributor. Also, the vacuum advance retracts when it is unplugged

Re: New to corvair
My vacuum pulls on full advance as soon as it is plugged in at idle. It is hooked up to the vertical port and when in neutral the timing light shows it advances over 20 at idle. Any ideas what's causing this?

Re: New to corvair

Also, I live in Las Vegas, not sure what major issues heat will have on the car besides overheating, and as for knowledge of corvair, I don't really have any. I have a dead spot wen I accelerate which I'm thinking is either due to timing issue or accelerator adjustment issues. My fuel gauge I believ...
