Corvair (spare) Tires<\/a><\/div>58<\/div>
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…<\/span><\/div>Tags: original, corvair, stock, articles, keeping<\/div><\/div><\/li>
Early Corvair Shock Absorbers<\/a><\/div>54<\/div>
I did some research into early Corvair shock absorbers and made a table to summarize my findings. The part and stamping numbers come from my March 1, 1964 parts book. \u00a0The Piston travel numbers\u00a0for all except 1964 rear shock\u00a0come from GM\u2019s Vehicle Information Kits - we have a page on…<\/span><\/div>Tags: articles, keeping, stock, original<\/div><\/div><\/li>
The GM accessory none of us ever got<\/a><\/div>54<\/div>
I have done a deep dive into this. The Jacking Instructions label on our LM Corvairs mentions a screwdriver as part of the tire changing accessories if we have the simulated wire wheels. However; as far as I have been able to learn, no one has this screwdriver. I do…<\/span><\/div>Tags: articles, keeping, stock, original<\/div><\/div><\/li>
Air Conditioning in a convertible - copper pipe differences<\/a><\/div>54<\/div>
While there is no data to document any numbers or percentages, it\u2019s 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…<\/span><\/div>Tags: compressor, articles, keeping, stock, ac, original<\/div><\/div><\/li>
1965-69 Heater and A\/C Blower Motor Resistor Networks<\/a><\/div>54<\/div>
I became interested in heater and A\/C blower motor resistor networks for late model Corvairs recently, mostly because I wanted to find one that worked well with the higher-output heater blower motor installed in one of my Corvairs. (I found that the stock resistor network produced output that was anemic,…<\/span><\/div>Tags: corvair, articles, keeping, stock, ac, original<\/div><\/div><\/li>

Air Conditioning Compressor Brackets<\/a><\/div>53<\/div>
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 \u201961 system, which is a system all its own.

Good day! I am going to begin reviving my 'new' car. It's a '66 Corsa Coupe (140\/4) with 28,000 original miles. It appears to be all original except the tires and no battery.

<\/a>Corvair Factory Air Conditioning was a relatively rare option, available beginning in 1961. Beginning in 1962, Corvairs equipped with C.A.C. (Car Air Conditioning) were equipped with an idle control assembly designed to increase the idle speed when the compressor was running, to prevent engine stalling. Between 1962 and 1967 at…<\/span><\/div>Tags: corvair, ac, compressor, keeping, stock<\/div><\/div><\/li>
