  • Finally UPDATED! Thanks Hardies1!!!
    Hi, CORVAIRWILD here. A little about me and what I do: First, I have LEFT my wife of many years, she was controlling my life for many many years. I will never go anywhere with her anymore! She also took my dog Mugs! He's cool. You should have a dog like him too, I would like him back! I have a new girlfriend, her name is MsHipChic, I never go anywhere without her! Next, I am a landlord, NO, not a slumlord who does section 8 apartment rentals, but I keep my properties up like they were my own...they are my own! Like I live there. I have lots of apartment buildings, a farm out in the country and a house here and there. I am always doing something, driving, rehabbing, you name it! I want to include you, so I bring my camera! EVERYWHERE! Haha. See you on another road trip with Billy!!! Did I mention I am a car enthusiast! I can't get enough Covairs and Vintage Chevy and GMC trucks. They have great reliability...all of em' the best vehicle on the road ever is a Corvair Spyder Turbo. Back to the trucks, I love the diesel trucks and Suburbans, Blazers too. That's what I plow snow with. A cranky Fisher snow plow. I'm a busy guy, but I make time for you. Thanks! CW...

    That is going to be a really nice old Cruiser once the bugs are worked out! I myself would install a pointless Ignition. Doesn't it seem the accelerator pump isn't working correctly? Maybe Holly EFI ?? It Increase mpg and reliability, however I know it's OEM! When I can pull off buying my 1967 full size Mercury I'll want tilt & a fast ratio steering box. You chose too nice old cars. When is the Finch Sprint getting fixed up??I hope you and your lady have a Wonderful Holiday season!

    • @CORVAIRWILD
      @CORVAIRWILD  3 года назад

      Actually the top and noise is very observant of you. I drove it a couple thousand miles to Ohio and back, and now it's missing on one cylinder, and I can't figure out what it is. And I'm quite the mechanic, but obviously not this time. and I've always driven like a maniac, why should I change? because my beard got white?

    • @theeoddments960
      @theeoddments960 3 года назад

      @@CORVAIRWILD it’s most likely the rocker shaft. I’ve got a 66 electra that made the same noise even worse and was missing. The rocker dug a groove into the shaft and was all loosey goosey. I’m taking the rocker shaft to be rebuilt. Should take care of the noise and running issues and should do the same for you.
