Yes this seemed to have fixed my blinking light issue. Need to drive at dusk or let run with lights on outside where I can see.

Yes.... The cheapening of parts..... I see it everywhere..... Sad, That's why a lot of times I try to only buy NOS parts.... Or even good used parts.

Update I've ordered another light switch, this time from Napa. The first was from advance. Something I noticed was the coil was a thinner guage from Napa but more coils. Advance auto parts was thicker guage but less coils. Two different manufacturers too. The napa one worked well & seemed to hav...

Bbodie52, I will check the connector, I did replace the dimmer switch & headlight switch.

Heck I'll check all the wires again, maybe something loose too.

Alright an update here. I have fixed brake lights by grounding a wire from housing to the body & both taillights & brake lights work as they should. After pulling the wheel off, I noticed the half moon shape was broken & this was not allowing the turn signals to work. If I moved the swit...

After doing some testing, I have taillights & brake lights.

All I did was ground the housing to the bumper with a loose wire & everything worked! Woohoo.

Now just have to ground the housings with maybe some solder or a well placed screw.

Turn signal switch next!

Well after cleaning & fixing wires & testing with a battery charger the housings each work. When putting into the van nothing.... I swear I read the multimeter correctly that there was power when the switch was pulled. Could this just be a ground issue? The multi-connector was also cleaned &...

Have yet to pull steering wheel off yet. I need the Lakewood above the van.... Just noting as well, I purchased a Delphi fuel pump for the van and it lasted about 2 months and started squirting fuel out the top hole. Item was returned to summit with a full refund and purchased a Carter and that is w...

Here are the taillights, I could see why the right would have nothing. I did test the driver side & it has power when switch pulled. Nothing when bulb is in. Bulb is new too.

So I will cut bad section out of passenger & maybe somehow ground each taillight. Maybe solder it together.

66vaitguy, I have looked at the wires that are not wrapped, but tomorrow I may try to unwrap the harness to see if some wires are melted together. If that's the case I will have to order a new harness. Also tomorrow I will attempt take the wheel off & see what the turn signal switch looks like. ...

Hello fellow members! I'm reaching out to ask about a slight electricial issue on my; 1964 Corvan, 62 102 engine, Car PG, Van Diff. So I have been working to be able to drive around more legally, albeit all of my lights and blinkers. I have fixed my headlights, low & high beam & front parkin...

Well when I changed the hose I thought it was flowing onto my arm & face quite well hahaha.

I know the tank was replaced in 2000 & was driven & kept full. The sender & sock was replaced then too.

I changed the front runner hose, the back was good. I haven't pulled the sender out to check it. It's possible but it isn't an issue that I have all the time. It is random.

I will check it once closer to an empty tank.

Fuel pump is new, from summit racing, I'm sure it's the same as Clark's sell too

Good to know, I've done 85 in both my 4sp & automatic. Although that automatic still feels quite odd at high speeds. It's quite hard to describe. The best I can describe it is once you get the pedal to a certain point, it feels like the car isn't accelerating as well, almost like it has resistan...

Here's an update. I've taken the carbs off my other 64 110 & that helped some. less hesitation, but still present. I actually did put a new vacuum modulator on just to eliminate a possibility. After tuning the carbs I'm able to get the idle in N low enough to not pull on the vacuum advance &...

Thanks Brad! I tried making contact with the air vair group but never heard back. I saw the book from Clarks, forgot to get it with my latest purchase. I remember a member of the Friends of Corvair (I'm in it as well) show me a booklet for I think 1960 Corvair or something similar. That's what inspi...
