<VV> Monza vs Corsa

[JVHRoberts at aol.com]

It was actually available in more than 4 states of tune. For one  thing, the 
64 150 turbo was also a 164 CID engine. And then there's the whole  140 PG vs 
stick shift difference. And then there were the smog vs non smog  engines, 
which had several differences between them...

The 164 cid engine was the only displkacement  available 1964-69. It was 
available in four states of tune. Since not  everyone had access or wanted 
to pay for HI-Test there was a 95 hp version  with 8.25:1 compression that 
could run on "Regular". This engine was  standard in the 500 and Monza. All 
optional engines required premium  fuel.

These were the 9.25:1 compression 110 HP engine available in 500  and Monza 
only . Starting in 1965 and optional in the Monza but standard  in the Corsa 
was the 140 hp HP engine also at 9.25:1 compression (PG only  available in 
the Monza probably because there was no room for the shifter  in the Corsa 
instrument) panel. And then there was the 8.25:1 compression  turbo 
available in the Monza Spyder (1964) and Corsa (1965-66).

See  http://tocmp.com/brochures/Chev/1965/Corvair/pages/65corvair15_jpg.htm 
for  the 1965 chart (on right side of page)

Hope this helps.
