Welcome to the Corvair Forum!

That is a very good looking Corvair Monza you have there!



I realize that Canada is spread out over a vast amount of terrain. There is a CORSA (Corvair Society of America) club chapter that is based in British Columbia that might be helpful to you, if you are not already a member. They have apparently structured their club to take into account a great deal of physical separation between the members. I would suggest contacting them and possibly joining their club chapter. The combination of websites like the Corvair Forum and the Canadian CORSA club can make the task of keeping your Monza in top shape easier and more enjoyable.

The CORSA club chapter in British Columbia might have some members with leads on a Corvair support in your part of Canada that would serve you well.

Joining CORSA is another good way to learn more about Corvairs.

I would like to encourage you to expand on your initial post and tell us more about yourself, as well as about your Corvair. If you can provide your personal assessment of your mechanical skills and abilities, that would help a lot. Members of the Corvair Forum love to be helpful in assisting other Corvair owners with technical support and advice, but it helps a lot if we have some understanding of your technical background and mechanical abilities, your Corvair-related knowledge, etc. Helping us to know more about you will help us to write comments to you that are tailored to your needs and experience. Knowing your specific location is also useful, because knowing where you live can sometimes suggest possibilities.

The link below will provide you with a list of useful websites that are Corvair-related. Some of the links will lead you to an extensive technical library that will allow you to download shop manuals and other technical references in Adobe Reader format at no cost. There is also a link that will help you to locate nearby CORSA (Corvair Society of America) club chapters. While the Corvair Forum can be very helpful as you work on your Corvair, having local friends and contacts in your region who are knowledgeable about the Corvair can also be very helpful. These family-friendly CORSA chapters often offer picnics, group scenic drives, technical training and assistance, car shows, and competition events that can greatly enhance your enjoyment of Corvair ownership. You will also find a list of essential Corvair parts suppliers. Clark's Corvair Parts in Shelburne Falls, MA is the biggest and oldest Corvair supplier in the world. You will find a link that can provide you with a series of videos that amount to a tour of the Clark's Corvair Parts facilities. I think you will be amazed at the quality of the reproduction components they offer — particularly the interior carpeting and re-upholstery items. Parts suppliers such as this truly make our Corvair hobby possible.
