[CORSA-NC-email-list] New Corvair owner - any club members nearby?

[Doug Mackintosh]

Hi, guys and gals! I met a new Corvair owner today in Williamsburg. He was passing through with busloads of kids. He has a 1963 Corvair and said he had never owned one before but was looking forward to driving it. 
   
  He told me his blower bearing is making noise, and from his description, I think the blower may be banging on the turkey roaster also.
   
  He also said it runs very rough at idle and low speed, but is fine on the highway. He had recently had some work done on it. I suggested he look at the balance tube for leaks before he purchases rebuilt carbs. 
   
  He lives near Spartanburg, SC, in Jonesville, SC. He said it was about 1 hour from Asheville, NC. He is not currently a member of a Corvair club. 
   
  Is there anyone near him who could help him figure out what is wrong with the car. And which local club should I have him contact?
   
  Thanks!  Hope to see some of you at the Williamsburg Vair Fair!
