Corvair Forum

Hi looking at a car on ebay and they actually listed the vin # in the auction. I thought great I'll go this the web site on this forum and check it out, but I keep getting an un decodable message. The number is 40967w2599501 I just want to get as much truthful info that I can get. Thanks

When you say fuel coming out do you mean the exheust? This exact thing happend to me. Rebuild the carbs and you should be good to go.

Have a '69 Monza 140/4spd. Thinking of putting on a single 4 barrel. My questions are well is it worth it? Whats the good,bad and the ugly? why have I heard there not good in the humidity? Will Iget that much more power? Thanks any feedback would be great. Bghandyman

Hey Lance, Car looks great. 140 or turbo? Where in upstate are you? I'm on Grand Island

Thanks for all the help and info. I bought the carb kits from Underground and their instructions say upper level at 1-1/16 " and lowwer level at 1-13/16" so thats what I did. Does this sound right?

Ok thanks thats the responce I was hopping for. Now whats the difference between the Ignitor and IgnitorII? Anyone else have any comments?

Just pruchased the Petronix Ignitor and Flame Thrower coil. Would just like some of your feed back on the performance difference, installation, and how much will I have to adjust my timing if at all. I have a '69 Monza 140. Thanks

Not sure I understand not useing the rubber cups. You don't need them, then why were they in there when I rebuilt the carbs? Also my next problem is they keep leaking from the carb gasket. Tried to tighten them down all around the carb but afraid to over tighten and stip out the aluminum.

First they don't seem to have any spring return on the throttle. Next not sure how and when that lock out trip lever works. If any one could maybe...

Hello Corvair nuts, rebuilding the carbs on my '69 /140 for the first time. Got the first primary (left side) done with no problems. Ended up ordering all new throttle shafts and the seal kits after seeing how worn the first one was. Then when I pulled the first secondary (left side) I noticed 2 thi...

Ok thanks for the info. I'm hopefully going to get to it next week and will take off the tops of the carbs and check the inlet valve. Not sure right now if it's one side or both. No I don't think it's a starter problem that would'nt explain all the gas coming out of the exhaust after I released it. ...

Hey guys, ok here's whats going on. Have a '69 monza with a 140/4spd. starts and runs fine, however after it is shut off fuel continues to dump into the cylinders. Try to re fire and its locked up tight, have too manually crank the engine backwards to open up the exhaust valves release all the fuel ...

Hello all, My father has had his current corvair since '86. Not his first I might add. (140 conv manza) Now since I'm staring to do some of the work on it I've become very interested in getting my own toy. I believe it needs all 4 carbs rebuilt, and I want to talk him into spending some money on the...
