I Take the Corvair on its Longest Drive on the Highway
มุมมอง 95หลายเดือนก่อน
I’ve never driven my Corvair more than a mile or two on the highway. But today, I attended a car show in Simpsonville, SC and I-85 to I-385 was the fastest way to get there. The car ran quite well at a sustained 70 to 75 mph. This bodes well for bringing her to Springfest in Hellen, GA. #automobile #chevy #corvair #classiccars #freeway #highway

    Solution Found- Oh, buddy- you ARE my younger self! I grew up with 1960’s GM cars. I’m a boomer whose first car was an old ‘61 Monza when I was a senior in high school. -Drove used Corvairs in college, and had a few more as a young adult. I’ve owned my current 1967 500 coupe since 1988. Those @$*%ç&! SPRINGS have made me a raving lunatic hundreds of times. Recently I went through the exact same lightbulb search, and bought the same bulbs. Avoided the job all summer. Well- Today, I actually opened the Corvair shop manual I bought decades ago. Wouldn’t you know- the correct method was in there the whole time on my bookshelf -With illustrations!! Guess what? There’s an order to it: 1- REMOVE SPRING. 2- remove screws. 3- remove ring. 4. Unplug bulb, then 5- replace it. 6. Reverse order, attaching spring last. (1965 Corvair Chassis Shop Manual- Section 12, pp. 4 & 5) *Now- I will tell you that the shop manual picture shows the guy using a spring remover. I looked it up- it’s a tool used for headlight and brake springs. Summit Racing has them for less than ten bucks. I happen to live FIVE MINUTES from their Ohio store. I’ll go buy that special T-shaped hook before I even pick up my Phillips screwdriver tomorrow morning! I have fought those springs for decades using needle-nose pliers. It’s a thankless task that encourages you to learn new cuss words. -I HAD the manual the whole time… Don’t be an idiot like me. Get the T-shaped spring remover and you will live a happier, healthier life. Oh, and get a shop manual. Tomorrow I’m going to install those bulbs, drive it around a little, then will get ready to put the poor thing away for the winter. Headlights will be ON! After that I plan to kick myself several times for not opening a book. Duh! 😂

    I realize this is far after the fact, but if there is gas in the tank, pull the line off of the tank outlet. if you got a steady flow of gas then its not the tank. I hope you didn't take out the tank, its a pain in the butt!!! mostly from the fill neck. oh yeah, ditch the mechanical fuel pump, when the car is hot you can get vapor lock, not fun. go with an electric fuel pump, you can also put a switch on it, another anti theft method, it saved my ass when some guy tried to steal my car. the guy got over the hill, around the corner and ran out of gas.
