[NoVa-Corvairs] Part needed, news, 67 vert for sale

[Daniel Goldberg]

ya ... think I figured out the problem.

I refilled the differential -- 2 1/4 quarts, just like the shop manual says.  I took off the diff cover and dumped in the lube.  However, I did not refill the transmission -- the dipstick was bone dry.  

I'm such a hack.  You heard it here.
