Of course we need to make sure the new arrivals know about the Basics 
Manual, Tech Guide, and of course the shop manuals and the other 
texts available such as Bob Helt's Classic Corvair book and Tony 
Fiore's The Corvair Decade...  and the others that remain available 
from various sources like How To Keep Your Corvair Alive and one of 
my favorites, How To Hotrod Corvair Engines...  dated though it may 
be, it's still got good stuff in it.

There are a boatload of *great* publications available on the Corvair.

Let's not scare anybody off by forgetting to let them all know what's 
available to help them solve just about any problem they might run 
into.    And, of course, as Frank said, if they still have questions, 
somebody somewhere is likely to  jump in and help them out.    In the 
meantime, let's remember that some of the more recent enthusiasts 
might not know about the multitudes of resources available to them.

...just mumbling,  after work.
