Corvair Trivia
On 1962 to 1969 cars there was one part that was metric . Anyone know what that part was ?
Re: Corvair Trivia
Don't know about that one item but I know all Corvairs had at least six matching parts that used metric threads in every single model from start to end.

Re: Corvair Trivia
Not alternator , they did not come out until 65 . Spark Plugs , well yes they are metric , but I stated 1962 to 1969 , so it should be something in common with those years and not 60-61
Re: Corvair Trivia
Yes, but I was playing on the statement about "one part that was metric" because now there must be two parts at least if you have another in mind. I even thought the Schrader valves might be a metric thread but those are just a weird bird altogether.corvair500 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 17, 2018 2:05 pmSpark Plugs , well yes they are metric , but I stated 1962 to 1969 , so it should be something in common with those years and not 60-69
I also wondered if it might be an A/C related part. A/C came out in 61 (62 MY?) but did not run though 69 if I recall correctly.

Rubber O-rings? I believe their dimensions are often stated in millimeters!
But for 1962-1969 the fuel pump push rod and distributor were changed to a new design, The automatic choke system was also introduced in 1962. The brake master cylinder also changed, in 1962 but changed again to a dual unit in 1967.

C633 control rod (reaction rod) nut? I thought those were 11/16 x 18?

Re: Corvair Trivia
For some reason I thought all trans bearings were all metric.
