Corvair Forum

Jim mentioned several things that need to be changed out, but its really not that hard to do. Sounds like you have all the needed parts on your old engines. I currently have a 102 in my 66 Monza while waiting to install my 140.

Actually, the 102 is a sweet engine.

All helpful comments!

Thanks

I will check my secondaries thoroughly. Troubleshooting may slow down as we are leaving for Helen, Ga this week.
When I am confident that this issue is resolved, the drive train is coming out to address a throwout bearing issue.

I'll be driving my 66 Monza to Helen. It runs great!

The vacuum advance unit is new as I replaced it some time ago while I was chasing this problem. I verified that it is a 140 distributor, and the point plate has a ground wire. Yesterday afternoon disconnected the vacuum advance on the distributor and went for a test drive, including 70+ mph on the i...

Thanks for the input, guys. I have more work to do. I would really like to solve this before I pull the engine.

65 Corsa with 66 160. I have been chasing this miss for a year. I have what feels like a slight misfire when running at a constant speed. Does not happen on acceleration. So far I've replaced the sparkplugs, wires, cap, points, point plate, coil and condensers. with no change. Carbs have been rebuil...

I too was looking at the local LKQ yard for a nice set of buckets for my LM convertible. I found that most later model cars have air bags built into the seats. I didn't like the idea of having a non-functional airbag on my shoulder. It might accidentally "function".

Dave, how do you install electric fuel pumps?

Wed 1/24/24: I should have read the entire post instead of just 1 section.

Thanks for the response. I have been comparing the air temp with my 2019 Toyota that has 50 years of improvement behind it. I have decided that my Corvair ac is working pretty good.

Thanks for the input y'all. I checked the temp at the evaporator and it's at 40 degrees. I think that I'm not going to try to improve it anymore. I will add that foam seal though . Regards

Or is this as good as it gets?

I've been working on the ac in my 65. converted to later condenser, added 2 9" fans, changed to sanden compressor, pulled vacuum and charged with r134. The temp of the air is 49 to 50 degrees, outside temp is 94.
is there a way that I can get colder air?

After looking at the amount of work it would take to modify the stock mounting brackets, I ordered the correct part from Clark's.

Has anyone been successful in modifying the A6 compressor mounts to make a Sanden fit it? I know I can buy a bracket from Clark's but would like to use the stock one if possible.
Thanks

So far my messages to the AirVair group have been unanswered. I figured they were no longer an active group.

Thanks for the info. One more thing...the compressor will cycle off and on while driving. Seems like it cycles every 2 to 3 minutes. Is that normal? This is the first AirVair that I have had since my Corvair in 73.
