A coil either fires the plugs or it doesn't. If it has the correct signal and power and doesn't fire the plugs the coil is bad. A coil won't change the idle.
The ping is either lean, too much advance, bad/low octane fuel, overheating or a combination of these.

Re: Corvair Carbs Value $ (found in a strange place)
The bodies do wear but it is rare in my experience that you need more than shafts. I'm sure as time marches on bodies will wear more. Mine does.

Throttle shafts are almost always loose. You just replace them.

Re: New here
See picture above. They were mostly out of the sun except for the last 2 years. No cracks though which is what I would expect from sun damage.

Re: New here
Well I shouldn't have bragged on my 10 year old Maxxis tires. Still no cracks but one came apart. It was only in the 9th year.

Re: gear stick jammed
I have a couple where the shift shaft coming out of the transmission is locked up. I haven't taken them apart to see what is wrong yet. I'm sure it isn't good.

Re: Fuel injection with coil packs
There are a lot more than "some" that use a cam sensor that don't have variable valve timing. I have 4 Buicks, 2 Chevy pickups and an International diesel all with cam sensors. None have variable valve timing and none will run without the sensor. I would for sure run something like a MegaS...

Re: Electric Corvair ---
I just did some research on the Pinto and I couldn't find a single example of them exploding. They did tend to leak gas and catch on fire in rear end collisions. It is very very difficult to make a gas tank explode. The only gasoline explosion I've ever seen was a gasoline tanker truck that was in a...

He didn't say anything about watching any other news or being afraid of homosexuals. Listen to either of the mentioned sources for 5 minutes and you'll see he is correct.
Also a gasoline tank doesn't explode or burst into flames when hit like batteries do.

Re: Early Corvair Shock Absorbers
Great stuff! Thanks!
We need effective length more than travel.
My '62 has shocks that don't allow much droop at all in the rear which seems good to me.

Straighten it. All it takes is a dial indicator, some v-blocks, a dull chisel and hammer.
