Finally got the corvair fired for the first time. Did that sound sweet. The engineran smooth asglass. I know everyone says how smooth they are but I expected a little shake atfirst with outany fine tuning, but that baby just sat on the mount and purred. I started it twiceand only let itrun for a couple of minutes each. It made my day so I had to share it with thelist.Carl________________________________________________________________________________Date: Tue, 17 Sep 2002 21:53:12 -0500

Larry, I used Wm Wynn's manual, the pietenpol guide, and the 1965 chassismanual. Then I just put it together the way I thought would work for me.I used Bernie's safety shaft and his plans for the hub. I went with thefanless version cutting off the fan and plugging the hole so I could use theoriginal oil breather.I kept the stock cam, jugs and pistons.( had to replace one, got that fromClark's.) Took Williams advice and got the rings, bearings, and gaskets fromJC Whitneys. Their gasket set is execellent and resonably priced. I'mswinging a 64x32 Props Inc prop.Carl----- Original Message -----
