<div dir="ltr">Interestingly, twice on my drive home while heading uphill, I had a sort of surging in the vehicle and seeming loss of power, almost like it was stalling out. The last time it happened on Federal, I slowed down to about 30mph (not intentionally) before making it to the top of the hill. Once past the crest, I had no more problems. Any ideas as to what gremlin could cause this? Would it be related to not having the carbs tuned to this elevation since bringing it from Minnesota, where my elevation was 912' asl? Or is this more a transmission issue with the PowerGlide?<br><br>Thanks for any help and ideas!<br><br>Mikey</div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sun, Aug 14, 2022 at 9:08 PM MICHAEL PIPER via RMC-List <<a href="mailto:rmc-list@corvair.org">rmc-list@corvair.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><u></u>

<span style="font-family:helvetica;font-size:12pt">My red Corsa has an Airtex solenoid style pump, the white car has a Carter vane style pump. Both are low pressure pumps. I think the problem with the red Corsa is the wiring in the engine bay vs the pump. I wiggle the wires by the bulkhead connector and off it goes. The problem has been very hard to duplicate sitting in the garage.</span>
