I'm in the process of looking for a 1965-69 Monza P.G. to purchase. My
question is how can you tell if the Corvair you are about to buy is a 95hp
or
110hp. Even if the rear engine lid has the 110 emblem on it, could it be a
95hp
engine that was installed many years later? I want to purchase a Monza
with
a 110. Thanks for all your help. Jerry Donnelly
Jerry - Do you have access to the application number stamped on the case
halves, between the top shroud and the oil filler casting? Right at the back of
the motor. With some cleaning off, and a flashlight, you should be able to
read the application ID stamped there. You need to look straight down to read
it. The ID ends with one or two letters, like RD or RL or RM - something like
that. It is almost always two letters on late model motors. That will
"usually" give the best indicator of the original application of that motor. There
is a listing of all the codes in several books, including the Corvair Decade,
many of the parts manuals as well - maybe even the Clarks or Underground
catalogs. Or - you can post it here and people will look it up for you. There
are some external indicators, like the pulley instead of a balancer, but those
could have easily been changed over the past 40 years.
