<VV> <VV>More Corvair Parts trivia

[Bill Hubbell]

Only a few Corvairs actually had the name "Corvair" on them.  For extra
credit, name them all.

As for the parts common to All Corvairs, unchanged from their introduction
on the first 1960 model to the last 1969 model (including FCs), excluding
hardware, consumables, or parts common to other cars:

Here are the parts we have found so far (feel free to correct)
--Push rods
--Push Rod Tubes
--Cam Gear
--Oil Slinger
--Idler Pulley support (but not the pulley)
--Oil sump Pickup and tube
--Engine Case Studs
--Engine Rocker Studs
--LH Cylinder air baffle

Here are parts that are potential candidates:
--RH cylinder air baffle (had hole for road draft tube)
--Crankcase vent (between crankcase and crankcase cover)
--Rocker Balls?


Here are parts that have been suggested but rejected:
Crankcase cover - two versions (bearing shaft)
Oil Pan - two versions
Rocker Covers - at least three versions
Engine rear housing - at least two versions
Bell housing - at least three versions
Valve Keepers - at least two versions

Door handles - at least three versions

Jack Handles - at least two versions
Anything to do with transmissions - because some were PG, Some MT, etc.
Anything to do with rear axles - same reason
Anything to do with suspensions
Anything to do with lights (Headlights not unique to Corvair)

Have yet to find any body parts common to all Corvairs.
