I did a small amount of searching about front rebuild kits for my 64 Monza conv. I came across a-resto-parts.com that offers a very nice, complete setup for my car. It was listed for around $130 or so. :think: The kit I saw from this source seems to price out at $239.99 plus $25 shipping. The "...

The only applicable specification I could find on the Corvair glass was in the GM Heritage Center specification (copy attached). It is not much but I didn't find any more detail in the Chevrolet parts catalog or the Fisher Body maintenance manual. All window glass is curved safety solid plate except...

:welcome2: :wave: Welcome to the Corvair Forum! Congratulations on your recent 1963 Corvair acquisition. I would suggest that you post some pictures detailing the body from different angles, the trunk, interior, and engine compartment. You should also include pictures of the VIN plate (in the driver...

:goodpost: But not if your 1961 Corvair has the original fuel pump! If you have the original 1961 pump, you will need to replace the early push rod with the later design to match the replacement fuel pump.

According to the 1966 GM Heritage Center Corvair Specifications (copy attached), Regular Production Option (RPO) K47 was available for all versions of the 1966 Corvair (500/Monza/Corsa). The 140 hp engine was not excluded. I have located several pictures showing the oil bath cleaner assembly in a 19...

I'm thinking that your 140 hp engine (or heads) may have been equipped at one time with an Air Injection Reactor system (SMOG Pump). The plugged manifold port(s) were likely associated with that system, as shown in the article below. The illustrations show SMOG pump configurations for dual carbureto...

The reason with pulling the entire powertrain as an assembly is that it is difficult to separate the engine from the transaxle — especially with the transaxle and engine still in the car! :wrench: The problem with the manual transaxle is that the long input shaft (23-24 inches) tends to remain embed...

Washington state museum pulls firearms from WWII exhibit over new gun law Reuters By Victoria Cavaliere SEATTLE (Reuters) - A museum in Washington state plans to remove about a dozen borrowed firearms from a World War Two exhibit and return them to their owners to comply with a new gun law that req...

The picture of you was captured in the final few seconds of your video. You ended with a big grin, which I felt would be worth a few votes at least!

:goodpost: Most likely a bad fuel pump that is filling your crankcase with gasoline. A crankcase explosion if the gasoline fumes detonate would not be a good thing! Bluish smoke is usually an indicator of oil burning in the combustion chamber. If your crankcase is filling with gasoline, the oil/gaso...
