Corvair Forum

Helped a club member try to install the available mechanical pump you can find now. Shortened the pump shaft, one lasted 2 days the other a week. Put the leaking original back in and it lasted till he had a electric one installed. New mechanical pumps are garbage....Hopefully Clarks pumps work out.

I saw a youtube video of someone with an alignment rack and compared it to the Gyraline. Fine for ball park but not real accurate. Here is the video link.

Great write up and explanation!

Thank you Scott.

I agree.

My 62 Wagon is manual adjust, my 63 is self adjusting.

Your fortunate you got all the goodies before each of them stopped making them.

To solve the belt issue you could use quick disconnects. https://www.pegasusautoracing.com/images/M/JT51410.JPG https://www.pegasusautoracing.com/productdetails.asp?RecId=3046&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=JT51410&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw5Ky1BhAgEiwA5jGujlPNtN42kPDTzxvYuoBb ...

Wouldn't there be an issue with belt install with the adapter Seth posted. How would you get around that?

Great story, A mid engine swap is on my list that I would like to do in the future. Almost had my hands on a Kelmark setup but the deal fell through.

Very cool! Had a 6bt in my 98 (made in 97) with a few mods and compound turbos I was over 1000 lbt. Was a great slimplistic engine. 4bt is a great choice.

I have a 13 lb in mine, but have leak in intake above 11psi so its self regulating at the moment.

Using a electronic boost controller, you should be able to have the port below the valve be pressurized till you want boost to stop and spring pressure is not as important.

I believe the Napa version is the same as the AGS brake formula Sil-Glyde

Good to see you got it on the road. The first drive for me is always the most stressful. Then the enjoyment begins.

not a corvair part that I have ever seen.
