Corvair Forum

I found the box.

Yes it's all wired into an oil pressure switch. It doesn't come on until pressure is built by cranking the engine. I had the carbs professionally rebuilt by "Custom Rebuilt Carburetors" in Middlesex NJ. The owner there assures me it's not the carbs but high fuel pressure that's causing the...

I should have said - non Turbo cars DO NOT need a fuel pressure regulator as the carburetors are suppose to work at 4-5PSI. The turbo cars work best when the fuel pressure is lowered to about 2PSI with a good regulator. Not sure what you have. A fuel filter is not a good indicator of fuel pressure....

Usually my glass filter stays about half full. Now, even with the regulator, I can see gas rushing in its full, but you can see a strong current in the fuel

You know, I'm going to wait for the gauge anyway. Couldn't hurt to see what its putting out, or what a replacement is.

It came in an airtex box. It has only about 200 miles on it. You're sure changing the pump is going to fix the pressure issue?
I got said pump right from amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Airtex-E8016S-El ... B000C1LW0E

I did a bunch of reading and wound up installing the airtex pump. It was working absolutely perfect, and then after a hundred miles or so, flooding occurred. I went and bought a spectre fpr rated at 1-4psi and installed it. It's all I could get on short notice. I had to adjust it all the way to get ...

That goes right along with the "I had one of those but it had the 4 cylinder engine." I actually get that quite a bit.

I would suggest driving a Corvair before buying - not real fast, but a lot of fun.[/]

Amen. More fun to drive than any fast car I've owned.

My 61 80hp is wonderful in hot weather. Just this past weekend we drove a hundred miles through elevation in the high 90s not only did my engine stay cool, but for some reason the cab is survivable where as a new vehicle without a/c doesn't seem as welcoming. Also, this is with a damaged cylinder he...

Yeah, I think it's adjustment. That would explain why one is spastic.

You didn't say what year your car is. So I can't be specific The brake light goes through the turn signal switch. The rear lamps must either be connected to the blinker or the brake switch. When the turn lever is in the middle the brake switch sends power to the rear lamps. When you move the turn l...

Both my blinkers always work. So do my running lights, but for some reason my right brake light works half the time. I took it apart and cleaned everything I could find, but it still only lights up when it wants to. Isn't it in the same circuit as the blinker?

Mine had some play. I tightened it up and added some lube. It steers great now. Like the other guys said there's a right way and a questionable way. Mine wasn't that much play and so I just gave it a tad bit of a turn and it's good now. If it needs a lot of turning, it's probably better to rebuild i...

The brad penn is better but I still catch a grind on downshift Into second sometimes.
