[NoVa-Corvairs] My Corvair is here.

Glad you got it back!  Perhaps one of your running/brake light bulbs does not have ground, causing left signal not to work.  Brake lights--switch at pedal?  These little things will keep you busy for a few days....

 Today Mark Walters drove me up to
 the Corvair Ranch so I could fetch my '65 Corsa
 convertible.  The car looks great -- Jeff and his
 employees went the extra mile in making sure everything was
 clean and polished.  Also, trim found its way onto my
 car that was far nice than what came
 off.The car made it back to Alexandria without
 incident, although there are a few notable things:1)
 The brake lights don't work2) The left turn
 signal doesn't work3) The little clip that holds
 the choke shaft to the right primary carb is missing.
  I went to two auto
 supply stores but couldn't find a replacement.4)
 Idle is a bit erratic, though on the high side so it
 doesn't stall out (sometimes it gets hung
 up)Also, my exhaust is LOUD!!!  Our project in a
 few weeks will be to install stock
 mufflers.Here's something: on the way home the
 temp needle was pegged at 400 (12 o'clock).  Even
 though it was a hot day, this struck me as being on the high
 side.  Keep in mind that the lower shrouds are off and
 the car has finned valve covers and a finned oil pan.
  The car had plenty of power and wasn't
 detonating.Pretty
 tired now.daniel
