Have the original front seats completely redone. However, I would like to replace them with high back bucket seats. Any idea what type of high back buckets will fit?

Does anyone know where I can find a mechanic to overhaul my 1966 Monza motor? Looking for someone near Kansas City that is reasonable in price.

Thanks to everyone for your assistance. I traced all the wires and tested voltage through to the ignition switch. All was good voltage wise. So I took the ignition switch apart cleaned it somewhat and put back together. Now it works just fine. So not sure if I “fixed” anything but it is working now....

Thanks for the advice I will start tracing it down.

Ok having some questionable issues I never expected. Drove my 1966 Monza to work last week on one of the nicest days, 60 deg in late feb, it drove fabulously! When I got there and turned off the car it sputtered before turning off. I tried to start the car again but the dash lights did not come on a...

I am interested to know if anyone has ever thought about or completed an electric conversion for a Corvair? Seems to me that they would be a great conversion host.

Thoughts?

Good day to everyone! I posted here as I was starting my restoration and you all are awesome in sharing what you know. I have a 1966 Corvair Monza that I purchased last Christmas.

I have a couple of questions... 1. The battery negative (ground) cable in an earleir photo looks like it is routed directly from the battery post to the alternator. It is supposed to be bolted to the engine, at the base of an alternator support brace. In addition, a second 10/12 gauge wire should c...

Unfortunately I got busy and did not go out and start the Corvair for a couple months. This is while I was working on getting the seats redone so there was nowhere to sit inside anyway. Now when I go out to start it the lights come on the dash, but the starter does not make a sound so the car won't ...

Thanks. And yes I meant PG. that was a wealth of knowledge. What about for the engine? I have heard the newer oils are not good to put in them. Is that true?

I am wanting to change out the oil and transmission fluid in my 1966 Monza with HG trans. My understanding is that not just any oil or transmission fluid can be used. What types of fluids do I need and any direction on where to find them?
