[NoVa-Corvairs] RE: 61' Steering Box

[Darrin Hartzler]

Hi Curt,

Even more simple than that...though I did pull the box and inspect 
it...and even had a back up ready to go, but I found that even though the 
splines on one part of the (worm) shaft were mashed, I could situate a 
good clamp to take advantage of what was left.   Seems very solid.   The 
internals of the box itself seem to be just fine and fully greased.

Further on 61' steering boxes...I got to do the "miracle cure" of taking 
the lash out of the steering of Mike Puglisi's 61' this last weekend via a 
simple adjustment in the trunk.  He brought it over so we could inspect 
the front end and we spent all our time trying to figure out his fuel 
delivery problem....which we have not solved completely.   He is going to 
get a new fuel pump as we suspect that the 45 year old unit on his car may 
be a bit weak.

Re: [NoVa-Corvairs] Does anyone need anything from the Corvair Ranch?






Darrin:

On the '61 steering box, did you replace the box with another or
disassembly and replace parts inside the box?
