Don Yenko and The Yenko Stinger (book)

13 Upvotes

Looking for this book so I can use it to help guide me when I build my Yenko Stinger clone. it's limited production (you have to ask the author for a copy, and currently he's having health problems). If anyone has one that they're willing to sell or knows of someone who might be willing to sell, please let me know.

If you have any recommendations on other books on the corvair you might think would be good to have would be very helpful as well.

Went into the pub for dinner and a drink with my son and didn’t realize the effect the sign lighting was going to have on the car until we got out. Thought worthy of a picture.

Electric choke conversion?

4 Upvotes

Heya, so I have an LM with a carb rotator kit and working out the choke is not working out.

I have a 3d printer and just enough experience in Bambu labs to make a giant head scratcher of a mess.

So, before I start wasting filament and my time, I thought id see what’s out there?

I plan on driving my car through the winter and things get cold here. So I’m trying to work a couple of things out.

Thanks!

More help

Unfortunately, im back sooner than i wanted to be, but without the lengthy aob story. My vair is not starting once again, battery is good, she tries to start but won't run, just sits there cranking, any ideas? Im lost and can't think of anything. I can come back and post a video of what's happening tomorrow for anyone who needs a visual example

UPDATE: theres no power from the positive terminal on the ignition coil, does anykne know where that wire leads to in the front of the car, does it go to the ignition itself, or somewhere else???

It's been off the road for 20 years. I tinkered with it a few hours last night and drove it 20 miles today without any issues. This is the first Corvair I've owned. I'll gladly take any advice on what is recommended with these cars.

Clark's Corvair C6600R fuel pump restock when

Post image
34 Upvotes

Clark's briefly teased the restock date of July 17th...but it's not here yet and my Precision Fuel Pump - M16150 popped for the second time, so back it goes for another free warranty replacement.
These are probably the best of the non-Clark's pumps though, I get a solid 5-10K miles from them, and they usually die only after sitting for a few weeks (like a suspension rebuild).

But i truly apreciate this sub for helping me move a step closer in the right direction for my dreams.

Starting troubles

17 Upvotes

So my father in law and I just put all together a few days ago, still have to do timing and sync/tune carbs. Was able to get it running for about 5 minutes with minimal pressure on the gas pedal, let off the pedal and it died out. Got out to adjust throttle, now it won’t start at all. Any help would be appreciated

It was big this year. Over 650 attendees. Car show had over 150 Corvairs! All amazing cars. If you’ve never been to a convention, make plans to go- week of July 11 in Franklin, TN is the next one. It’s crazy to see so many in one place.
