[V8Vairs] Re: v8 cars in print

[Rick & Janet Norris]

Well Steveo,
I have been working on my V8 Vair and will be again after I attend to the
Email. I swapped the older polished aluminum unit (Yeah, I said unit!) out
for a newer GM small type in chrome. It would not produce a charge and I
suspicion the exciter was not getting "excited". I rubbed it and talked
dirty to it to no avail. I had to install a Painless Wiring plug kit, which
the other one didn't need. If the monsoon rains ever let up I'll road test
it.
It's both fun and painful to look back on any "old" going price for Corvairs
and parts. You always think, If I could go back there with today's
money.....
