Adding to Brad's legacy comments in the area of fuel economy, I believe that the lack of lower shrouds would rob horsepower as GM Engineering designed the system with a known degree of back pressure. I am not an expert in fluid dynamics but removing the shroud may destroy the efficiency of the fan t...

What is the position of the needle for Step 1?

The following simple test can help you troubleshoot your gauge/sensor; no ohmmeter is necessary 1.) Remove the wire at the thermistor and turn the key to the ON position. Your gauge should report less than 200 degrees. 2.) Now ground the wire at the thermistor. Your gauge should report greater than ...

The Corvair Ranch repairs and calibrates Corvair tachs. They have a good selection of spare parts including the correct replacement germanium transistor, should it be needed.

ok, so with my ohm meter set @ 2000 on the scale, I'm getting readings of 101 ~ 98 on a cold engine when checking at wire coming off the thermister. So is this ok or??? "checking at wire"? Are you measuring the resistance of the thermistor or the resistance of the wire through the gauge? ...
