1961-64 Corvairs with Air Conditioning have two switches, a blower switch on the left side that turns the system on/off and sets the blower speed, and an evaporator temp control switch on the right side that sets the temperature and turns the compressor on/off as needed. The temp control switch,…
This post uses pages from the 1960-64 Assembly Manuals to explain the different rear mounting brackets used for Corvair Generators. The first two photos are from the 1960 Assembly manual, showing all three possible generators and their brackets: Generator Part # Bracket Part # Bracket Length & Description 1100357 (7″…
This article shows how I reconditioned the Air Distributor/Control pod for my 1964 Air Conditioned Convertible (the Glenn Corvair). This is the part of the AC system that is mounted under the radio housings, containing the air vents and the control knobs. For simplicity, I’ll refer to it as the…
All Corvair engines produced after November 29, 1963 were equipped with Blower Belt Guides, as noted in Technical Service Bulletin #982, dated March 18, 1962. This TSB also gives instructions for adding blower belt guides to earlier engines (1961-64). Thanks to Dave Newell for providing scans of this TSB.

This survey is only for 1964 Corvair cars with Fawn Interiors. It seems that they came in two distinct styles – either with Medium Fawn paint around the doors and rear quarters, or with Light Fawn paint in those locations. The purpose of this survey is to determine if there was a specific pattern of dates or body style which applied to the change.
While there is no data to document any numbers or percentages, it’s a safe assumption that fewer convertibles were equipped with air conditioning from the factory than were coupes or 4-doors. People have often asked me why someone would have air conditioning in a convertible. My answer is simply that…
Late 1963-1965 Corvair A6 compressors used a foil sticker to display model number, charge, and serial number. While these stickers have been accurately reproduced for non-Corvair A6 models, they aren’t correct for Corvair, due to the difference in Model number and charge. Here is a photo of the reproduced sticker:…
Hi all. After posting this on the Stock Corvair FB page, Kent encouraged me to start a blog here. I’ll start with pasting the text from the FB page: Just thought I’d share some pics of a couple of spares on original rims. One is an original US Royal 6.50-13…
There are several sets of compressor brackets that were used on the Corvair, depending on engine and year. This is to document in pictures those variations, as well as the brackets that are the same, with the exception of the ’61 system, which is a system all its own. The…
