The kicker was I was impressed by his daughter but after finding the parts car he was impressed with me but his daughter and her mom thought I was scum for finding him a car for parts because he was just about ready to dump the car. Are you dump a lot of crazy money in that car parts car found for him was useful so I'm glad we can save the car. I feel so bad for the guy that ended up with that young lady from back then. And now in Kansas this guy has five of these corvairs and I think it's 1200 bucks all of them.

This particular Corvair has a 2 carb 110H.P. engine. The body and paint job suggests a Corsa model,which had either a 4 carb engine making 140 HP or a turbo for 180 HP. The 110 HP engine is the least problemic engine of the three. I would love to have that car! It looks to me that the rear engine mount should be changed to the latest version that has a pin included in the design that prevents the mount from failing and allowing the engine to drop out of its mounted position.

I bought a 1960 Corvair in 1966 for $10.00. The owner said it ran fine but must have a bad bearing because it made a big noise. What could I lose? I got it home and the generator light came on. The fan belt was loose. I loosened up the generator, yanked it up to tighten the belt and heard a clunk. Did it several times with the same result. I pulled the pulley off the balancer and found it was a two piece pulley riveted together with bad rivets. The two pieces of the pulley were just sloppy. Went to the local junk yard, found a pulley and took it off. The guy charged me one dollar. Put it on the engine and ran it for two years. Sold it for $100.00 to a guy who just wanted the engine.

To me that is a very informative video: I got an abandonned project: A 63 Corvair Monza 900. A lady who had absolutely NO IDEA what she was doing took a slightly rusty and driving car (it had less rust than this one here) that she had bought fom a mechanic and pulled the entire body apart, even chopped the fenders off and kind of killed the car. Some of her friends did a lot of welding and gave up on it. I am now in for many years trying to source all parts and make it a car again. The vehicle fought me very tiny step of the way. There is no body panel that really fits well. I did nothing mechanical yet as the engine and brakes worked very well. Now with the fenders put back we found out that the car was sagging so much that the wheel touched the left fender. The car was welded together with after market parts and the fender is not fitting well. I ordered 4 new shocks and 4 coils in the States. I hope that will help to bring the car on the road again. You never know what you ared getting into until you work on a project: If I would have known what I had to do to make the vehicle roadworthy I would have NEVER taken up the task. I only pray that the car can finally get fixed.

Growing up, our family had a 64 Monza convertible (110 / 4sp), later on I had a 66 Corsa convertible (140 / 4sp). My Mom worked at a tire store and was given a free set of Michelin radials, it was funny seeing mechanics shake their heads when my five foot and a bit mom tried to tell them the tires weren't flat. ;-D While driving my moms 64 the temp light turned on, I pulled over, checked the belt tension, it was good. I drove on, but the light turned on again so I pulled over, checked the belt tension it was still good. I practiced SSPP (Stop, Study, Plan and Proceed), that resulted in me grabbing the belt and yanking it, "clatter, clatter, clatter" went the separated pully and luckily I was at a service station near home, where after a couple days it was fixed. ;-)

The secondary carbs need minor linkage adjustment sometimes but if people tolerate Tri-Power Pontiacs they shouldn't poo-poo this setup. The Rochester H and HV are good carbs.

Corvairs are innovative cars like nothing else before or since. In 1964 they had a turbo 150 horsepower 6-cylinder model. I think Porsches' best offering that year was a four-cylinder 60 horsepower power plant. Chevy made a ton of them and there is huge aftermarket support. Not not first class build quality but no worse than Camaro or Mustang. Corvair engines are also used for small aircraft and sand rails. Some with Porsche barrels and pistons installed.

The Corvair was a big risk for an American carmaker. It had a European character-- and also some of the idiosyncrasies of some beloved European classics. I owned two. The engine geometry and skeleton is of very high quality and promises great reliability and longevity-- if, that is, a few weaknesses from the factory are remedied. Push rod tube o-rings being the most famous! These were adjacent to the exhaust manifolds and the rubber would soon dry out, crack, and leak copious amounts of oil. That, along with complex carburetor linkages, and a scary fan belt design, was most of the trouble you'd have with the late model Corvair. Otherwise, it was rock solid and very fun as well.

28:20 BEFORE pulling fuel with the pump, I would have advised using compressed air (and some cleaner) to clear the fuel line backwards from the engine compartment to the tank hose. Even if there isn't water in the line, it will likely be gunky residue and filled. Cleaning the lines between the pump and the carbs also advisable. Lastly, some 'Vairs have a fuel filter installed in the upswing from underneath the floor to the front of the engine compartment. I know a bit about Corvairs.... 🙂 Edit: 35:40 ahhh, I see that you found the filter! 😊 Edit two: 39:30 Guessing that you installed, removed, and reinstalled the oil filter?

FYI the corrosion in the cap only serves to cause a higher voltage Spike when the coil fires. You don't necessarily have to clean it all off. It's not a primary connection where you need shiny metal contacts. In fact GM provided silicone grease to put on all of the secondary contacts in the early HEI system To make more resistance to create higher spark gap voltage. 50 years auto experience speaking
