Corvair Forum

My name is Bill Muno and I bought my first Corvair almost 2 years ago. I have always liked them and it was getting too difficult to get in and out of my MG Midget. I have a 1965 Corsa Turbo convertible and except for the VIN# it is all Corsa (OK, it is a clone). I love it and it goes to the paint sh...

Thank you both for the quick responses to my questions. This forum has a wealth of information and I hope to be able to contribute more as I gain Corvair experience. i would not be able to gain that experience without his forum. Brad, I greatly appreciated your response to my early post last Novembe...

I am in the process of pulling the engine to put a clutch in my 1965 Corsa Turbo. This is my first Corvair purchased last November. The car was last registered in 1995 but I believe it has been driven over the years. I have replaced the steering box, rebuilt the carb, adjusted timing, etc.. and I am...

Charles, I don't have a part number for you but there are a lot of them out there online. I am looking for the same thing for a 1965 Monza/Corsa Turbo Convertible. I ordered one and it was too big. The 1965 has a number of unique parts and the trunk lock is one of them. Some of the sites list the sa...

Does anyone have a source for a Trunk Lock for a 1995 Corvair other than Clark's? Will locks from other years work?

Thanks,
Bill

I have recently acquired my first Corvair. It is a 1965 Corvair convertible that started it's life as a Monza with a PG. It has not been registered since 1995 and when I bought it three weeks ago it had been upgraded to a Corsa Turbo w/4sp. As far as I can tell only the engine deck emblem still need...

Thanks for the replies regarding possible binds in my convertible top. I think I do have some binds but the major problem is probably a lack of ground. I have ordered a new circuit breaker for the ground leg and will update this post when I get it. Some of my binds may have been caused by the fact t...

I have a 1965 Monza (Corsa Clone) Convertible. It is my first Corvair and I have only had it 2 weeks. It was last registered in 1995 and I think the top has been up all these years. I have been trying to determine if the top mechanism is binding or if the motor is too weak to operate it. I bench tes...

Brad, Thanks again for all the info. So far my Corsa upgrade has checked out. I have the proper heads, distributor, and turbo oil line. I also found out I have OTTO aluminum vale cover and oil pan. I feel that the crank and cam will check. I have not had time to put the car on axle stands yet. I wil...

Brad, Thank you so much for your quick and comprehensive response. It will take me a while to absorb all of it. I was able to determine that at least the right head is the Turbo head. The left head had only the number 11B on the rear end. I suspect that the part number is on the front of the head. T...

My name is Bill and I live in Fallbrook, CA (San Diego). I sold my MG Midget in May because it was too hard to get in and out of. Just bought a 1965 Corvair convertible, 4 speed Turbo. I have done Porsche. MBZ, MGs, and VWs. I am not afraid of mechanical or electrical issues, but rust and body work ...
