I was orginally sutck because the car stalled not far from were I live and apparently the transmission is working properly which carrried me out of the apartments I live in.

I need someone to help me check the timing with a gun also. The Corvair is in need of exhaust pipe change as the exhaust is leaking and of course giving off a larger sound than it should. The brakes seems to work well and quite honeslty. I never started that car before purchase and perhaps I did pay more than I should have, but honestly it was in the best shape out of all the ones I looked at. I basically want to resolve these issues and get the car mobile. The spedometer cable needs calibrated or replaced along with the blinker being stuck that I have to pull on the cable to stop it. This Corvair over all is ready to and has the usual problems areas such flooring and interior work I need to do.
