Projects Second project: Spyder Power/Double Trouble

As far as a "smogger" carb:

California law went in to effect for the 1966 model year. Generally, 1966 California carbs differ in calibration from their 1966 Federal counterparts. This is true of the Corvair.

Federal law went in to effect for the 1968 model year.

Virtually all passenger carbs (including the Corvair) were re-calibrated for smog in the 1968 model year. So the 1968 Corvair carbs differ from the Federal 1967 carbs.

tag said 08 so i figured 1968, the other tag said 05, so i guessed 1965

 

finally scored those carbs, perfect cores, drivers side carb is a little sticky but itll come out of it

poor '65 vair, this is the one i was referring to earlier, 4 door hardtop.

 

getting a parts car for the cars to get some springs, steering box, brakes etc.

 

About time you got back to these!

 

also, ive given up on mechanical fuel pumps for corvairs, all my research says that they are all junk, i really want to get old school electric fuel pumps, but chances are none will work for very long. will this get a pass despite not being traditional?

 

Sometimes a man has to do what a man has to do! It will be ok.

 

nevermind, yesterday they sold it out from under me despite me literally being prepped to head there right after work, what a douche.

oh well, gotta keep on movin on i guess, i need to find some suspension pieces and such still, the white car has a broken spring, so its getting two new rear ones

 

my daily died as i mentioned in my other thread. so i need to move the corvairs around to swap the engine and transmission in an o/t car to daily drive it.

 

yes the blue is VERY ugly, i just need to rust protect it and make it hold air. i need to polish up those chrome reverse rims

 

late night fixin, phone was almost dead so no flash. took this cool pic

 

good pic i got yesterday.

making good progress on getting a daily.

its a mix of a mustang, a luxury boat, and a truck.

 

So, what are the future plans for the Corvairs? They seem kind of neglected.

 

i know, project jump is killing me. they are mothballed and on plastic, im going to make a structure over them so they are protected.

currently im making a daily.
