Fw: [NoVa-Corvairs] Needed: a 1965 140 carb cross shaft

[Daniel Goldberg]

I had the following email exchange with the fellow who sold me the part
-- does his response sound accurate? Dewey,

I'm positive.  The '65 has the long slots in which the secondary linkage
slides
-- here's one on ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/CORVAIR-1965-140-HP-Carb-Cross-Shaft_W0QQitemZ150162663485QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item150162663485

The '66+ doesn't slide -- I'm afraid that I don't have enough experience
with
66+ cars to describe exactly how the linkage works.

Please let me know what you have!

Daniel: Puzzle identified!! Your '65 is a LATE model !!  The early version (like 
mine) is the one I sold to you. There was a 1965 mid-year design change by GM on 
that part which opened the secondaries differently(long slot) ;therefore what 
you need is the late '65 thru 1969 version,which I also have! Sneaky GM, did not 
provide a breakpoint for that change,at least, I've been unable to find a record 
of the change. Sorry for the confusion. What now ?? I do have the "long 
slide/slot" version.     Dewey

Daniel:

Are you sure that you can not bend the original cross over shaft back
into near new shape?  After all you have a reputation of being a bit on
the physical side.

I probably have one but all my car parts stuff is boxed up and in self
storage.
