PPCC List - New Mexico trip

[Garrie Fox]

Pat Hall has been a tremendous asset in the Corvair Hobby for decades.
A 3:27 diff ratio has to be rare for 66-69.  I have a '66 sports sedan 4 spd with 3:27 with FI and when I drove it back to the Richmond Corvair Museum and my BU class reunion, it achieved 30+ MPG on the Interstates.
I believe your experience is normal for him!

 Hi all,
On Friday (Oct 7) I drove down to see Pat Hall in New Mexico.  This was a last-minute decision after talking to him on the phone the day before.  I was looking for a '66 4-speed transaxle with 3.27 gearing in the differential.  Pat had it along with at least 8 more in various conditions (3-speed, 4-speed, automatic) some with the transmission separated from the differential.  There were also some additional parts that I needed that included a positraction ring gear carrier, spare ignition switch (thought that would be a good idea after hearing some discussion about failed ones at the last PPCC meeting), and spare tachometer.  The sheer volume of Corvair parts he has was overwhelming.  Pat was very friendly and helpful and went out of his way looking for the additional items, and then showing me around.  He loves operating his forklift.  Made the round trip in 1 day.
