Hi Nathan,

I have a full weekend - but I'll be doing Corvair stuff on Saturday.   
If you can bring it down here around midday I can help you with some  
troubleshooting.  My take on it is the sockets are messed up, a  
common affliction to late model Corvairs.  If that's the case there  
are parts stores nearby and we can crimp a new set on.
