Actually 1 -3 - 5 were the firing cylinders, and it should run pretty  
smoothly (everything is relative) No worse than a counterweighted Geo 3-cylinder  
motor of the mid 90's. - I'll bet the Geo was also about half the displacement  
of the late Vair. Hmmmm? Probably about 60 HP as well. Hmmm? Of course, with 
the  three left side cylinders of the Vair not firing, the car would have a  
definite pull to the right! <grin> - Seth
