I'll match that $50 to help get the registry going again. I'm sure I'm at
least that far behind on dues although I tried to find out where to send
them as many others have. Just let me know who to send them to, either check

I think we need to hear from Arch Evans first.....  It seems it would be
best if he turned over ownership to someone  in better condition to run
it...


1  CORSA gives 100 mb free webspace to chapters...


Even though I have the highest of thoughts for Arch....  if he won't
co-operate....  start a new one under a different name...  and
advertise...for members.. do not use anything from the previous...

Paul,

I live about a mile away from Arch Evans and am building a V8 Vair so we
keep in touch often, and I told him you were thinking about a C5
differential on a powerglide.  You really need to get in contact with him!
He recently (re)enrolled(?) on the forum but hasn't gotten confirmation yet,
so I'm passing his email on to you until such time.
He's at ade383 at hotmail.com
He probably has your answers and would like to talk to you!

I'm thinking about upgrading to a C5 differential on my Crown car. It's
currently got a powerglide adapted to the Corvair differential. I've come
across an outfit that makes an adapter to mate the glide to the C5. Now I'm
looking for more input on what else it would require to make the switch. 
Like the half shafts.... 
I'm not too worried about fabbing the mounting but the lower arms are a
concern. 
Any suggestions before I pull the trigger on this would be appreciated.
