Corvair News:
Hey guys and gals,
It's your Long Lost so called Pres. I'm sorry about the last 2 meetings and newsletter. The last 2 months have been nuts, aside
from being backed up with jobs at work we decided at the spur of the moment to move into a larger space. What a pain in the
ASS!. I'm sure it will be worth it when the dust settles. At least It will give us some room to breath and grow.
I have only made it to 1 event lately The Children's Charity's Car Show at the LVMS. Fair turn out Harry was there (congrats on
the cover of CORSA by the way) and one other lone 63 MONZA coupe. As usual no love for Corvairs as for awards, still lot's of
fun talking to people and it's for a good cause right?
I thought i was going to make it to the Fan Belt Toss but that's not going to happen either. Maybe next year. Well that's about
it for now I WILL be at the next meeting hope to see you all there.
Mike

Corvair History:
While small car enthusiasts around the world were enjoying their
new GM Corvairs, at the Design Center Vice President Bill Mitchell
was hard at work developing a two passenger variant. Mitchell had
been a committed sports car enthusiast and racer for many years, so
it is not difficult to understand why a two passenger Corvair was a
perfectly logical next step for him to propose for the Corvair brand.
1962 Two Passenger Corvair Concept Model: The shortened
wheelbase and resulting new proportions are easy to see in the side
view image taken in the Design Auditorium in the fall of 1962. In
addition to the competition roll-bar, Mitchell also had the designers
add new rear quarter and rocker panel trim. The chrome-plated wire
wheels were one of Mr. Mitchell's signature design elements that he
used on many of his concept vehicles.
In the front view which shows the top in the up-position, we can see
that in addition to the classic racing stripes, Mitchell had a new
bumper design developed. The perfectly straight reflections in the
Corvair's paint clearly shows that body and paint work came from
Design's excellent prototype shops.
Note front end treatment. The rear compartment photo shows that
this one-off two passenger Corvair was a fully functional concept
vehicle. Note the added cross-car brace that stiffens the body and
provides support for the convertible top cover. We can also see part
of the one-off door trim design and the chrome stripes holding down
the rear compartment carpeting. The chrome stripes on the
carpeting are another classic Bill Mitchell feature.
Top folded into boot well. One can only speculate at this point as to
why the two passenger Corvair was not approved for production. It
would have made an exciting addition to the Corvair lineup. No
doubt GM was already aware of the gathering storm clouds that
were soon to overtake the Corvair.

Tech Articles & Tips:
I bought a new 1960 Corvair in early 1960 and its mechanical fuel
pump was still working just fine when I traded the car in late 1964.
The car and its fuel pump had 99,500 miles on them the day I traded
the car for a brand new 1965 Corvair Corsa coupe. I drove that car
for 75,000 miles and traded it for a new 1970 Buick Station Wagon.
The mechanical fuel pump was still working great when I traded the
car off. After only 9 months, I sold the Buick V-8 and bought the
1965 Corvair 4-door that I am still driving today, November 2008.
This car has about 500,000 miles on it now and the 4-carb 140 hp
engine has never been overhauled. I did have to replace both heads
because of dropped valve seats in 1980 and in 1986. It starts quickly
and does not smoke! It does use about a quart of Pennzoil 40 wt. HD
oil every 1,000 miles. According to my written notes, I did not
replace the first mechanical fuel pump until 1992 when the engine
had over 290,000 miles on it. Why did I replace the original fuel
pump on that car? Because “Everybody was doing it!!” My reasoning
at the time was that I did not want to have fuel pump failure while
on a long (or a short) trip.
A Run of Defective Fuel Pumps
My new fuel pump on the 1965 Corvair 4-door (in 1992) lasted about
1,010 miles and then began leaking at the diaphragm area. So, I
bought another new fuel pump and began using it, and the second
replacement pump began leaking within 1,000 miles also. I cured the
problem by installing a used pump. I think I must have installed a
good used pump because it lasted me for the next 10 years and at
least 125,000 miles. Then I bought at least 4 new fuel pumps from a
CORSA supplier. These fuel pumps began to leak at the diaphragm
area within an astounding 1,010 miles each. I then did a scientific
study of why the fuel pumps were failing and found that there was a
simple reason for the failures. The manufacturers were using silicone
-based neoprene sheets to make the diaphragms, and the silicone
sheets did not have any fabric in the middle as the AC Delco pumps
had used. As most Corvair owners know, silicone and gasoline are
natural enemies and gasoline always wins the battle! The gasoline
begins to melt the silicone on contact.
Towed to Lake Tahoe in 1998
Several CORSA members may remember that Gayle and I had to be
hauled on the back of a tow truck the last 25 miles down Highway 50
when were headed to the CORSA National Convention at Lake Tahoe
one year. And of course Christy Barden was there with his camera, (Continued on page 9)
Corvair Fuel Pumps
They don’t make them like they used to (except for repair kits)
Richard Finch, SAE, Author and Engineer, retired.
Photo # 2. This is a 1960 stock AC
Delco fuel pump with the longer
push rod and the light case, that
weighs only 14 ounces, the
preferred pump to re-build. The
cover is only about half as shiny as
the “bad” fuel pump.
Photo # 3. This fuel pump is the
replacement fuel pump that has the
silicone diaphragm with no fabric
reinforcement. At 26 ounces, it is
nearly double the weight of the AC
Delco fuel pump. It can be rebuilt
with a new kit from Antique Auto
Parts Cellar.
Photo # 1. This fuel pump mounted on a 1963 Corvair 102 hp engine is one of
the “Bad” pumps that failed at 1,010 miles. You can tell by its extra shiny cover
and the larger hold down screws. It is also made from heavy pot metal at nearly
double the weight of an AC Delco fuel pump.

to photograph us when we arrived at the convention parking lot. The
problem turned out to be a defective fuel pump that had, you
guessed it, only 1,010 miles on it when it failed. We had driven the
Ultra Van to the Fan Belt Toss in Palm Springs, California and some
around the state before heading to the National. Our salvation was
that I had installed a Facet electric fuel pump to prime the
carburetors when the Corvair engine had not been driven for at least
a week. One problem with Corvairs is that the carburetors have a
tendency to dry out from the heat of the air cooled engine after the
hot engine has been shut off. I can even see fuel boiling in the clear
plastic Fram brand fuel filter on our 1963 Monza after the engine has
been shut down. That is why I use a Facet brand electric fuel pump
on Corvairs that are usually parked for more than a week.
The solution!
I found a supplier in
Massachusetts (not Clark’s)
who manufactures fuel
pump kits to the original
specifications, and I bought
several of his kits and
tested them. What I found
was that this kit
manufacturer uses only
non-silicone diaphragm
material that has fabric
reinforcement in the
material, and that makes
the diaphragm last at least
75,000 miles in my use on
my Corvairs. I did have to
replace one of these new kits in New Brunswick three years ago
while Gayle and I were driving our 1969 Ultra Van to Prince Edward
Island in Canada. The kit began leaking at the diaphragm and caused
us to smell gasoline, not a safe situation. We always keep at least 3
dry chemical fire extinguishers and one Halon(tm) on board the Ultra
Van. Our Ultra Van engine had over 75,000 miles on the new kit at
that time.
Installing electric fuel pumps
I have been told that an electric fuel pump will not suck gas and that
they must be installed as close to the gas tank as possible, but I have
not found that to be true. We have installed our Facet brand fuel
pumps on the firewall bulkhead of our Ultra Van and on the firewall
of our 1961 Rampside to act as a backup for filling dry carburetors
and even for road operation, and both Corvair vehicles operate just
fine with the fuel pumps at least 9 feet from the fuel tanks, 14 feet
on the Ultra Van.
Note that Facet brand fuel pumps can be had in at least four
different pressures. Coming back from Lake Tahoe, we drove all the
way back to Santa Barbara, California with a by-pass fitting on the
mechanical fuel pump to keep the gasoline from catching fire as it
leaked out of the defective fuel pump. I hate the pounding noise that
an electric fuel pump makes, but it can be ignored if you plug your
ears with cotton. There are some quiet, gear driven fuel pumps that
are available, and I own one, but I have not installed and tested it
yet. All new fuel injected cars use gear driven pumps for quietness.
The gears in a Chrysler vehicle fuel pump are about the diameter of a
pencil and are very quiet, but most are very high pressure units, such
as 60 psi. You want a fuel pump that puts out only 4 to 8 psi for a
carbureted Corvair.

Fax: 781-335-1925
The price of a kit is $32.95 each and shipping is now $12.00
approximately. Tom told me that the kits have been improved some
lately, by providing the check valves with more internal clearance to
allow for swelling of the neoprene due to the fuel suppliers using
acetone and some other chemicals to clean out the factory fuel lines
periodically. It is once again possible to have a stock fuel system on
our Corvairs and have dependability and safety again!
(Continued from page 8)
Photo # 5. This is a Facet brand electric
“clicker” fuel pump that works well,
other than the constant clicking sound it
makes. The cost is about $45.00.
Photo # 6. This photo is of an in-line
rotary fuel pump that uses rotary vanes.
It was purchased from Clark’s Corvair
Parts at the 2003 Flagstaff National
Convention, the price was $59.95. It
should be quieter if the pressure is low
enough. For a carbureted engine you
need 4 to 8 psi.
Photo # 4. Repair Kit. It is a good idea to mount a
Fram brand plastic fuel filter just behind the
alternator or generator to catch any dirt that
could be in the fuel tank or fuel lines. These
should be replaced about every 10,000 miles or
less.

Finish Line:
10/29/16 - Cody Bowers of the St. George News
ST. GEORGE — An armored tank and police escort left the Utah
National Guard Armory at 6 a.m. Saturday, ushering in the “First
Responders Appreciation Car Show” and carnival that drew
hundreds of folks to the daylong event held at 150 E. 1160 South in
St. George.
“This event allows us to show our appreciation for what our first
responders do,” Darren Nuttall, operation manager and owner of
Desert Sports Management, said.
Working together with Car Guys Care, event sponsors decided to
honor first responders by donating a portion of the day’s proceeds
to Project Lifesaver, a cause they hold near and dear.
More than 130 cars were on display Saturday, so many in fact that
event organizers ran out of space to properly show them, Shane
Dastrup, president of the Southern Utah Mustang Owners
Association and a member of Car Guys Care, said.
The sea of vintage beauties lining the large venue was surrounded
by bounce houses, a climbing wall, numerous vendors, concessions
and live music. There were also face painting booths, activities and
even a miniature Hurricane City police car patrolling through the
crowds.
“Project Lifesaver brings a little bit of comfort to the families,” Buell
said. Continue Reading at: www.stgeorgeutah.com
Hundreds gather to honor first responders and support ‘Project Lifesaver’
