[NoVa-Corvairs] My Corvair is here.

[Frank DuVal]

The original choke clip is a 1L. This is a discontinued part from the 
clip manufacturers. I have tried all the sources I could Google. A 2L is 
the best you can do. Typically found in the "Help" (by Dorman) section 
of the auto parts store in a package of several different sizes. Or, ask 
anyone who rebuilds carbs, as that is the clip used on the accelerator 
pump linkage on a Rochester H, HV, so every kit I buy has a new one in it.

400° sounds right on this hot day. I wouldn't worry yet.

Brake lights and turn signals use same filaments in the rear. Also, both 
go through the turn signal switch. Start by shorting the terminals on 
the brake light switch, this should light both rear bright bulbs if the 
turn signal switch is in the middle position.

Congratulations on getting the car done!
