   I apologize up front for a non-Corvair post and hope I don't get a
demerit  from Bryan. Someone posted a while back a negative reaction from
the vaccination and I wish to report I had my second shot last Thursday
with no reaction aside from a sore arm for a couple of days. Of course
everyone is different and some experience flu-like symptoms with aches and
pains, tiredness and maybe a mild fever. I strongly urge all to get their
vaccination as soon as possible. The sooner we reach herd immunity the
better for all!
    Sorry Bryan but I felt this public health comment was worth sharing.

We live in a retirement village with 750+ residents with an average age of
80 years and one month.  98% of the residents and 66% of the staff have had
their two shots of Pfizer vaccine.  Only the residents and staff who had
previously contracted the virus showed any reactions to the vaccine and
none were severe .

I am 88 and live alone. Absolutely no problem or discomfort with first or second Pfizer.  Was willing and ready to accept short term discomfort given death  alternative.
Anyone refusing shot us a damn fool and a selfish dangerous person, a threat to my grandchildren.

Ok, I know we are off topic here.  However, as a physician, and therefore possessing more than casual knowledge of medicine, let me explain the presence or lack of side effects depends on many factors, including genetics, age, medications, other health conditions, etc.

AS A GENERAL RULE, more severe side effects tend to be seen in younger individuals and/or people with a history of prior exposure to the virus - reason being younger people generally have a more responsive immune system and prior exposure sensitizes the immune system (primes the pump, so to speak). 

HOWEVER!  The presence or lack of side effects has very little correlation with the protective effect of the vaccine - it works just as well in people who don?t have side effects as in people who do. 

ALSO!!  While we do NOT recommend taking analgesics (acetaminophen, ibuprofen, aspirin, naproxen) PROPHYLACTICALLY (taken before a vaccine) to prevent  symptoms, it is PERFECTLY OK to take them to TREAT vaccine-related side effects once (if) they develop. 

Side effects can range from none to moderately severe, and may include fevers (perhaps as high as 103, but 101 or less is more typcial), chills, sweats, nausea, fatigue, myalgias (aches) - but NOT cough, sore throat, or altercation of smell or taste.   Side effects, if present, usually resolve after 24-36 hours, and rarely require serious treatment. 

For what it?s worth, but my wife (65) and I (66) had Moderately Severe side effects the day following our second dose of the Moderna Vaccine - for one day only!  We survived and are both perfectly healthy now. 

Get your shots, people.  Do it for yourself and for all the people you care about.

My 2 cents worth:
1.  To remove the tank on a late model you must first remove the sway bar.  A good time to check all associated bushings.
2.  Then, drain all the old gas out and remove the sending unit and associated hoses and wires.  A good time to inspect them all.
3.   Then, remove the tank.  A good time to clean the mounting j bolts on a wire wheel.  Once loose, I wiggle and jiggle the tank low enough to cut the rubber hoses holding the filler tube to the tank.  Then push the filler tube up into the hole as much as possible to give as much room as possible.  Without the filler tube attached, the tank should wiggle right out.
4.  Since ethanol destroys anything rubber, now is good time to replace all the rubber hoses.  Clark's sells the ones for the tank/filler tube.  Now is a good time to install an in-line fuel filter at the rear junction to the engine.
5.   When re-installing the tank, here is how I do it:  CAREFULLY remove the filler tube rubber grommet from the fender hole.  You'll need the extra clearance later.  Put a little dab of grease on the filler tube vent nipple and gas tank vent nipple.  Then install that hose.  Next, put a little dab of grease  on the filler tube and tank nipples.  Install the big hose on the filler tube.  Then test fit the other end of the hose on the tank nipple to ensure a smooth fit.  Then, since there is "no room at the Inn",  orient the bottom clamp so you can access it with the tank installed in place.  I use a long extension or two and a universal swivel.  When you install the tank, put a rope on the filler tube end.  Have a friend help to guide it up into it's hole while you wiggle and jiggle the tank up into place.  Then, loosely attach the mounting strap to hold it into place.  Then tighten the correctly oriented lower clamp.  Lastly, tighten the tank mounting bolts and re-install the sender
 , grommet, wires and hoses.
Hope this helps.

Subject: <VV> piston ring question answered
Message-ID: <220212233.174768.1615514661019@connect.xfinity.com>

A while back I asked a question about the orientation of a certain piston ring.  Here's what I've learned so far:  It's unanimous - the two dots go up.  I also checked with Deves.  That was pretty much an exercise in futility.  The dude confirmed the two dots go up, but then turned around and said Deves never offered piston rings with dots on them!!!!!  Even though I have a packet of said rings in my possession!  He also said, all things considered, that I needn't worry about honing that one cylinder just for one ring. 
Since my lubricant of choice is Amsoils' 15W-40 Heavy Duty Diesel and Marine Oil (AME) which I've used flawlessly for 40 years with absolutely fabulous results, "damn the torpedoes!!! Full speed ahead!!!"  What that means is that i'm going to go for it and just install the ring and go for it.  I mean, if it ran great with the broken ring, it can only get better!

Warren LeVeque Memorial Corvair Show


The Northeast Corvair Council - a.k.a. NECC Motorsports - may have the best idea around for all the people who have waited quite a while to get out and exercise their Corvairs, or at least take a ?road trip? to meet up with other car people.


What: Warren LeVeque Memorial Corvair Show
Where: Pocono Raceway. 1234 Long Pond Rd, Long Pond, PA 18334
When: Sunday July 31, 2021


Gates open at 7 AM. On-site registration begins 9 AM. Show begins 10 AM. Awards at 3 PM.


On Saturday July 31, we?re having a Corvair Car Show in conjunction with our usual performance driving event at Pocono Raceway. The show field will be in the Pocono North Course paddock right in front of the North Course garages. The show includes lunch-time parade laps around the North Course. People?s Choice judging.


The two events ? show and track day ? will run concurrently and both are dedicated to the memory of Warren LeVeque who passed away in 2020. He is one of the best known and beloved Corvair Racers from the 1960s right on through the 2000s and ran in a number of NECC performance driving events with his highly-modified Corvair-based track cars. Many of us grew up in the hobby reading his monthly full-page articles in the Corvair Society of America?s award-winning magazine during his 20-year tenure as the CORSA Competition Chairman.


Those who enter the car show will have a good time. Think of it as a ?Car Show with Benefits.?

? No fee to enter the racetrack gate,
? No fee to enter the car show,
? No fee for parade laps,
? No fee for spectators


You are also welcome to walk through the garages where drivers will be preparing their cars for high-performance driving event on the track. You can also volunteer to assist with trackside flagging responsibilities for an hour or two during the action.


But that?s not all. You?ll have a front row seat for a very unique 20-minute parade of 300 Harley Davidson motorcycles rolling into the track facility at 12 Noon. They will take three parade laps on the whole 2.5-mile NASCAR Tri-oval, and back out again. Keep your camera ready for this one. All in one place, on one day. You can?t make this stuff up.
On-site registration will be available but please register in advance. Go to neccmotorsports.com and, using the navigation menu, select ?Corvair Show?.

Wondering for a customer how much HP increase he can expect from one of Cal's 4-carb kits on a 110 engine with dual exhaust? I know it's less than a true 140 because of the valves. A guestimate is fine.

 Nope. Don't have one :-), but as it turns out, they are about 24-25 pounds to ship.

Nope. Don't have one :-), but as it turns out, they are about 24-25 pounds 
to ship.

2. Re: 140 head weight (Jim Becker)
Hoping someone has an approximate weight on a 140 HP cylinder head? Trying 
to determine the cost to ship a pair to the UK.

I am about to install a new license plate light.? The hot lead goes to the bottom of the bulb.? To complete the circuit, is it necessary to ground the the assembly that mounts to the deck lid?? Currently it is painted. Do I need to sand that area to provide a ground?
What should the surface look like between the the lid and the bulb holder...painted or bare?? Is there some other way the ground is accomplished?

The ground is made by the two screws that attach the light assembly to the car body, so as long as the screw threads and underside of the head come in contact with bare metal you should have a grounded assembly.

Another request to buy or borrow or trade for you Corvair Carter YH new throttle shafts. Clarks still does not have an availability date and I currently have 4 customers waiting to get their cars back on the road (and a couple waiting to ship their carbs). Please have pity on them and me and drop me a private note. I will pay you more than you paid and can work something out for other parts or services or cash as you prefer. 
Thanks,
Grant

It would be fun to see them both run around an autocross or a mountain road!

Anybody notice the Corvair turned a quicker and faster time than the 
Cougar Eliminator?

Oldsmobile sandbagged the horsepower on the W31 350 engine, bigtime.? 
Likewise the W30 455.? The W31 cars were much more bad-ass than they 
shoulda been with just 325hp.?? They were nearly as fast as the W30 455 
cars.?? I knew two guys who had W30 and W31 cars.? The W30 populated the 
owner's mantle with a row of dragrace trophies.?? W31 owner never 
dreamed of racing his, treated it like a fragile flower, never drove it 
in the rain etc. ? Brought it to the cruise-in a time or two but other 
than that I never saw it out.


The Corvair had nothing to be ashamed about, when put up against any W 
series Olds.

 Got a bathroom scale? Step on it and note your weight. Then pick up the 140 head (or whatever) and step on the scale again. Subtract your weight and you'll have the head's weight, or a good approximation of it for shipping purposes.?
