Corvair Forum

Have you found the problem with your car? Was at Ken's when you called. Anyway, hope all is well with your car, and congratulations on your wedding.

Quite a wide array of classics Vairs. Thanks for sharing.

Happy Birthday Phil. Just went through the same last month. I would say I'm getting better, but really I'm just getting older. LOL

Not as many Corvairs this year, but I see where 9 out of the 10 Corvairs sold. That's 10 as of today. May be more I haven't gone through all of the future lots. Most were early models (8) and 2 of them brought $40,000 plus. Crazy.

They were cast iron by Hastings. Don't have the instructions anymore but I want to say the oil ring was in the 6:00 position.

Just put new rings in my car this week. The instruction sheet had me put one ring gap at about 10:00 with the top of the piston being 12:00 and the second gap was at two o'clock, to me that is more like 90 degrees apart.

Reminds me of growing up in the Adirondacks and driving my 1962 to school.

I enjoy all of Jay's videos but especially liked this one. Thought the car looked very nice, not perfect but nice. I appreciate he always gives our hobby good publicity.

My '66 140 had what looked like the original heater hoses so while in quarantine I replaced them all. After installation I took a short drive and checked everything once back in the garage. The passenger side hose had sagged and was rubbing on the transaxle. I had to hang it higher so there would be ...

I really like the look. I think it turned really nice. I'm thinking about fabricating a console and may incorporate some of your ideas.

Seeing quite a bit of that, and not just on E-bay. I'm surprised at the number of 4 cylinder 'vairs out there.

looking good.

Welcome. Good luck with the project. Keep posting your progress. It's always neat to watch the transformation.

A wise man told me it would be best to add 4-5 new wires. I installed 3 and then found out I needed more. So now I have run a total of 5 new wires from the back to the front. I zip tied them to the original harness and was able to attach to the harness for at least 90% of the way. I've crimped plug ...

So the thermistor wire does not run to the wiring harness at the dash? Do you have any pictures that show how it attaches to the starter? I have a Corsa dash in a '66 Monza with a 140. and I'm trying to figure out some of the various gauges. I would still need to run a wire to the gauge itself ...
