4 way flashers in a 64 monza

[wfg97079]

Who has 4 way flashers in a 64 monza? I believe I have seen it was an option for the rampside. I saw this on ebay:

Not crazy about the price, but could one of these be adapted to a monza coupe?

$217 price on eBay!

Recommend dividing some of that money into AAA Autoclub membership for roadside assistance and towing coverage. Spend a small amount on the Emergency LED Road Flare Kit, and other funds on emergency tools, a copy of the Corvair shop manual and supplements, as appropriate, and maybe some jack stands, an emergency flashlight, emergency tools, and some critical spare parts. These items could make an emergency roadside repair possible, and the AAA membership will help if a roadside repair is not possible.

A copy of the appropriate shop manual in the trunk should also be there as your guide (or as a guide for any automotive mechanic who may assist you).

I now carry a set of these in the trunk as a part of my roadside emergency repair kit...

A quick survey of the numerous electric scissors jacks and hydraulic bottle jacks available on Amazon.com https://www.amazon.com/s?k=car+jacks+an ... b_ss_i_4_5 seems to reveal that electric scissors jacks generally have a lower lift capacity at a much higher selling price! The reliability factor also seems to be variable and questionable, and a much higher price does not necessarily equal a safer or more-reliable tool.

I would suggest spending less money on a high capacity hydraulic bottle jack that should lift the lightweight Corvair safely and reliably, without requiring external battery power. The high lift capacity should provide a hydraulic advantage making for less strain and work when manually pumping the jack handle. Spend some of the saved cash on compact jack stands, wheel chocks, and roadside warning lights instead.


Never trust a scissors or hydraulic jack if you intend to crawl under the car. Also, unlike modern cars most Corvairs lack emergency flashers. Wheel chocks are a useful safety item that I first discovered bundled with my jack and lug wrench when I owned a Datsun 240Z. I always felt that was a thoughtful idea. Here are some examples...

An emergency lantern similar to this is also a good idea. You cannot assume that your car will only break down during daylight hours!

My ‘66 has that kit installed. For 1966, anyway, it was a dealer installed option as was the am/fm multiplex, which my car also HAD. Anyone know where I can get am/fm multiplex reasonably priced?
