<VV> Corvair clutch diagnostic puzzle

[Larry Forman]

Hi Doug,
You got me!  I clearly remembered looking at it on the left side of the 
page.  So I checked the entire Tech Guide and Supplement and sure enough, 
NADA!  Then I checked another handy reference that I thought might have it 
-- Richard Finch's "HTKYCA" and THERE it was on the left side of page 84 
under the heading "Clutch Cable".  Sorry for steering you wrong.

On the other hand, did you find several interesting tech articles while 
looking over the entire Tech Guide and Supplement as I did?   That Tech 
Guide continues to amaze me with it's versatility and depth of Corvair tips 
and information.  Richard's book is very good also.
