PPCC List - Power glide transmission

[michael timmons]

The power glide in a Corvair is completely different than any other
powerglide .  It’s gonna be hard to find anyone trust worthy local to do
it.   Best bet would be to get on Corvair owners group and ask.  Sadly it
will most likely need to be sent out or find someone with a known good used
one to swap in while the other one is getting fixed.   I believe I have a
good used one you can have if this is something you want to do.
