2019 CORSA Convention in Lake Charles, IL.

Anyone from the West Coast making the trip to the convention this year?

I will be flying in to Chicago and renting a car for a week. Just wondering who else is going.

Thanks,

Re: Corvair Car Transport Company Recommendations

I used the following broker: orangeautotransport.com/ To move my 69 Convertible from Boston to San Diego in an enclosed van 2 years ago. Service was excellent. I watch driver inspect and load the Corvair at each end of the trip. He knew exactly what he was doing and was professional in all respects....

Re: Corvair engine compartment airflow

It is also true that the open chamber head and the domed pistons contributed to the pinging problem.

Besides, thinking a bit more about it - 145K miles was a good thing in 1969. Even with the added heat load of the a/c, I was always happy to have the a/c in Southern Calif.

Re: Corvair engine compartment airflow

I purchased a new, 1969 Monza 110/4 spd that I drove for 16 years and 145k miles. About 1971, I added the full factory air set-up from a 67 Monza. I also kept the factory smog pump by using a California only high a/c and smog pump mount bracket. Results were a car that finally blew a head gasket at ...

Re: Will OverBoring Cause Overheating?

With a 2 carb 110 engine don't go crazy with the cam. Close to stock or stock. Work your heads for tight quench and 9/9.5 compression. Rework your distributor advance curve and Lots of vacuum advance. Also, I did not catch your transmission. It makes a difference.

Re: 69 140 Coupe

Suggest you start rebuilding the other engine. May as well do it right and be done with it. BTW, I was the guy you beat to this particular 1969. I was going to see it the next morning. Got a text from seller saying he sold it. Glad you got it running and working so quickly. I picked up the 1968 also...
