BSCC- Need help with Corvair late model battery cable research

[C. Raia]

Sounds like they're compiling a database. Please send
them info. if you can help. Celia


Hi all,

Tom (on Cc: line) has done some AMAZING work. He has
so far spent at least two days at the Corvair Ranch
going through every late model Corvair and collecting
battery cable info! This is 125 more cars to add to
the list I started at the Buffalo '05 convention and
worked on again at Detroit '06! Tom, thanks a TON!
 
The data are getting pretty clear on most of the
cable changeovers. Two specific things we could use
help with:
 
1. Any '65 WRN car with body build date of 05D, 06A,
or 06B, or VIN ending  between 266599 - 284567. If you
have a car in this  range, please check the
*positive* battery cable and let me know what the
number is. Should be  2987264ZE or 2987281ZF.
 
2. Any '66 WRN car with a body build date of 12D or
01A, or VIN ending between 135957 - 143392. If you
have a car in this range, please check the *negative*
battery cable and let me know what the  number is.
Should be  2987251EM or 6289115EW.
 
In addition, we have extremely little data from cars
equipped with heavy-duty battery cables. As a result,
we basically  have no idea what the original
heavy-duty negative cable was in '65 (assy. manual
says 2987283 or
and parts book says 6286125) or when the transition
to 6286146ZE occurred.  And, we have very little data
from LOS cars. I hope to collect more during
the Ventura '08 convention.

Thanks,
