The  other way a corvair can easily start a fire?  Blow a belt on the  
highway, not notice the gen light for several miles due to the glare, and  
pull off onto the grassy shoulder....with unshrouded headers.  Don't  ask me 
how I know.

That's why EVERY Corvair (not just Spyders and  Corsas) needs an engine 
temperature gauge.  I've driven Corvairs home  without damage with NO operating 
fanbelt by using the aftermarket CHT gauge to  tell me when to periodically stop 
and cool off the engine before proceeding  again.  7 miles took about 4 stops. 
 The heater on full blast plus a  BIG battery plus synthetic oil and Viton 
O-rings helped, too.  <GGGGG>
